PRAGATISHEEL SAMOOHIK KRISHI SAMITI LTD. vs STATE OF U.P . — C.A. No. 5063/2007

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Pragatisheel Samoohik Krishi Samiti Ltd.'s appeal against the Allahabad High Court's December 12, 2006 judgment. The case involved land reform proceedings under the U.P. Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950. The Court held that unlike the Kastoori case where members originally owned land before pooling it into a cooperative society, here the cooperative members only contributed money, not land they originally owned, thus disqualifying them from Section 154 proviso benefits. Each party bears its own costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
