U.A.BASHEER vs THE STATE OF KARNATAKA — C.A. No. 3032/2010

SUMMARY The Supreme Court partially set aside the High Court's dismissal in this Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act case. While upholding that a post-Act partition deed cannot defeat excess land determination, the Court found the High Court failed to adjudicate critical factual questions: whether appellant possessed the disputed property and thus had standing to invoke abatement provisions of the Repeal Act (1999). The case was remitted to the High Court's Division Bench for fresh consideration of possession, allowing additional evidence, to finally resolve whether proceedings should abate. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
