The High Court had dismissed their claims as premature, observing that the petitioners' ownership status depended on pending proceedings under the Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act, 1976. The Supreme Court upheld this dismissal and directed the appropriate authority to examine whether proceedings under the Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act, 1976 could be continued or concluded, while permitting the parties to approach relevant authorities under applicable land laws.
