T BHOOBALAN & ORS.                                 Respondent(s)

O R D E R

The petitioners before this Court are the landlords,

whose land was initially declared a surplus in ceiling

and which was subsequently allotted to other persons.

Later on, the order declaring the land as surplus was

set aside and therefore, the persons who were allotted

the   land,  which   includes   the   land   of   the  petitioners

declared  as  surplus,  was   to  be   reverted  back   to   the

petitioners.

The   persons   who   were   allotted   this   land,   had

challenged   the   order,   first   before   the   learned   Single

Judge   of   the   High   Court,   where   the   petition   was

dismissed.  Thereafter, in appeal, the Division Bench of

2

the High Court passed the order declaring that now the

order   by   which   the   land   was   declared   surplus,   has

itself been set aside, the allottees are not occupying the

land as surplus land, and this land has to be given to

the landlords.    ...
