The<br \/>\n        competent authority, out of all the total areas of the<br \/>\n        properties to the tune of 23,182 sq.mts., deducted<br \/>\n        18,096.98 sq.mts. In Chhapra Bhatha village, there were<br \/>\n        three agricultural lands shown at Sr.Nos.7,8 and 9<br \/>\n        hereinabove and those agricultural lands being used as<br \/>\n        such and situated in agricultural Zone were also excluded<br \/>\n        for computation.    Accordingly the competent authority<br \/>\n        found that in all the petitioner was having 5085.02<br \/>\n        sq.mts. of    land   to be taken into account.        The<br \/>\n        petitioner was entitled to three Units as the land was<br \/>\n        held by joint family and there were 3 adult members in<br \/>\n        the family.. Each Unit was entitled to retain 1500<br \/>\n        sq.mts. of land.     He, therefore, deducted 4500 sq.mts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>        there from and reached the conclusion that the petitioner<br \/>\n        was holding 585.02 sq.mts. of land in excess..        The<br \/>\n        Government then under Sec.      34 of the Act took up the<br \/>\n        matter under review. The Secretary who was reviewing the<br \/>\n        order found that the competent authority was not right in<br \/>\n        excluding 334 sq.mts. of land covered by the house shown<br \/>\n        at Sr.No.1, 91 sq.mts.      of land    covered   by   the<br \/>\n        construction of the house shown at Sr.No.4 and 60 sq.<br \/>\n        mts. out of 117 sq.mts. of land covered by the house<br \/>\n        shown at Sr.No.5. The land Survey No.17 shown at Sr.No.6<br \/>\n was at that time shown as agricultural land for which<br \/>\nexemption was sought for. That was granted, but lateron<br \/>\nthat exemption was withdrawn.      The total area of that<br \/>\nland at that time was 6677 sq.mts.    of land and that<br \/>\ntotal area has been considered while computing ceiling<br \/>\nthe limit by the Secretary, Revenue Department, though<br \/>\nthe competent authority considered the area of that land<br \/>\nto be of 565 sq.mts. because of the erosion soil and<br \/>\nacquisition of land for the purpose of road construction.<br \/>\nComputing accordingly, the Secretary, Revenue Department<br \/>\nfixed the total holdings of the petitioner at 7162<br \/>\nsq.mts. for the purpose of ceiling limit. Therefrom,<br \/>\naccording to him, the petitioner was entitled to 1500<br \/>\nsq.mts.   of land retainable by one Unit because, he was<br \/>\nof the view that every adult member in the family was not<br \/>\nseparately entitled to unit benefit, but they all were<br \/>\ncollectively as one unit entitled to the benefit. He,<br \/>\ntherefore, reached the conclusion that in all 5662<br \/>\nsq.mts.   of land was in excess of the ceiling limit.<br \/>\nAccordingly he passed the order which is under challenge<br \/>\nin this petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.   It was not disputed before me that agricultural land<br \/>\nused as such and falling within the agricultural Zone are<br \/>\nrequired to be excluded while computing the ceiling<br \/>\nlimit. Accordingly the lands shown at S.Nos. 7,8 and 9<br \/>\nhereinabove are required to be excluded. As per decision<br \/>\nin the case of Meera Gupta vs. State of West Bengal and<br \/>\nothers AIR 1992 SC 1567, the area of the land covered by<br \/>\nthe construction of the building prior to 17th February<br \/>\n1976 has to be excluded. Admittedly the house and cattle<br \/>\nshades shown at Sr.Nos. 1 to 5 were constructed on the<br \/>\nland prior to the Act came into force i.e. 17th February<br \/>\n1976. The area covered by the construction has to be<br \/>\nexcluded in toto.      Over and above such exclusion, land<br \/>\nappurtenant   to   the    construction   and    additional<br \/>\nappurtenant land are also required to be excluded from<br \/>\ncomputation as construction thereon is not permitted.In<br \/>\nview of such law, the computation now centers on the<br \/>\nproperty at bearing No.S.17 shown at S.No.6, hereinabove.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.    By passage of time, there was gradual erosion of<br \/>\nsoil. The Government wanted to construct the road.<br \/>\nHence certain lands were acquired under Lnd Acquisition<br \/>\nAct. Eventually, therefore, the total area of land<br \/>\nbearing Survey No.17 came to be reduced to 5665 sq.mts.,<br \/>\nand that too before the Act came into force.    For the<br \/>\npurposeof computation, the said area has to be made the<br \/>\nbase and not the total area viz. 6677 sq.mts. of land.<br \/>\nAfter    the  land   was acquired, the road has been<br \/>\nconstructed and the same passes through the said land.<br \/>\n Owing to the road, certain lands on both the sides<br \/>\nthereof are not permitted to be used for the purpose of<br \/>\nconstruction.    Hence such lands are required to be<br \/>\nexcluded under the head Road Margin and Side Margin. The<br \/>\nSurveyor of Land Records Office, producing map before the<br \/>\ncompetent authority pointed out that the road margin land<br \/>\nwas admeasuring 250.70 sq.mts. and side margin land was<br \/>\nadmeasuring 864.28 sq.mts.    Thus total of both the side<br \/>\nlands comes to 1114.98 sq.mts.     The same has to be<br \/>\nexcluded, out of the total area of 5665 sq.mts. of land<br \/>\nOn doing so, the land admeasuring 4550.02         sq.mts.<br \/>\nremains on hand.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.The land formerly belonged to Himatsinh Gumansinh<br \/>\nand after his death, it was jointly held by his heirs<br \/>\nnamely Mohansinh Himatsinh, Maniben Himatsing and Laduben<br \/>\nHimatsinh. There were thus three members in the family<br \/>\nholding the properties jointly.      If the persons are<br \/>\njointly holding the property, each one adult member is to<br \/>\nbe considered as separate Unit independently entitled to<br \/>\nretain 1500 sq.mts. of land and not as single unit being<br \/>\nthe members of the joint family. I am fortified by a<br \/>\ndecision rendered in the case of Chhaganlal Trikamdas<br \/>\nThakker &amp; Ors Vs.Competent Authority, Rajkot and Ors.<br \/>\n1994(1) GCD 1. If that land of three Units is deducted,<br \/>\nonly 50.02 sq.mts. of land remains on hand which can be<br \/>\nsaid to be the surplus land, but each of the three Units<br \/>\nis entitled to 10% of 1500 sq.mts. of land retainable as<br \/>\nmargin land.    If that is considered, no land remains on<br \/>\nhand which can be said to be in excess of the ceiling<br \/>\nlimit.   Instead of computing in the above stated manner,<br \/>\nthe competent authority and thereafter the Secretary,<br \/>\nRevenue Department, fell into error and misdirected<br \/>\nthemselves, as a result, the erroneous computation came<br \/>\ninto being.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.Faced with such situated, when a query was made,<br \/>\nMr. Sompura, learned AGP, could not point out how<br \/>\ncomputation made by both the authorities below was in<br \/>\nconsonance with law. He in his usual acondour conceded<br \/>\nthat in fact no land was in excess of the ceiling limit.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner<br \/>\nthat the land in question i.e. Survey No.17 has been<br \/>\ndeveloped and it is divided into several plots.       The<br \/>\nplots are sold to the persons of middle income group.<br \/>\nThose persons have already constructed their dwelling<br \/>\nunits wherein they reside since 1993 or prior to it. In<br \/>\nview of the matter, no useful purpose would be served, if<br \/>\nthe matter is remanded for a fresh computation and even<br \/>\nif it is remanded, the computation would not be otherwise<br \/>\n than what is hereinabove computed.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.For   the foregoing reasons, the petition is<br \/>\nallowed. The order passed by the competent authority on<br \/>\n30th November, 1987, the copy of which is produced at<br \/>\nAnnexure A and the order dt. 20th June, 1993 passed by<br \/>\nthe Joint Secretary (Revenue), the copy of which is<br \/>\nproduced at Annexure : B are hereby quashed and set<br \/>\naside, and it is hereby declared that the petitioner does<br \/>\nnot hold any portion of land in excess of the ceiling<br \/>\nlimit under the Act. No costs in the circumstances of<br \/>\nthe case. Rule is made absolute accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Whether Reporters Of Local Papers &#8230; vs Unknown on 29 August, 2011 Author: H.R.Shelat, IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD SPECIAL CIVIL APPLICATION No 9032 of 1993 For Approval and Signature: Hon&#8217;ble MR.JUSTICE H.R.SHELAT Sd\/- ============================================================ 1.
