Repeal of Urban Ceiling Act - Land does not go to State if Actual Physical Possession Not taken before 1999 Sec. 10(3), 3(b)

In 1999, Urban Land Ceiling Act was Repealed.

But before that many Excess Ceiling Lands were order to be vested in Government.

Though such orders of vesting of Land in Government were passed, before government could take actual physical possession of land, the Urban Land Ceiling Act was repealed by Parliament.

Under Sec. 3(b) of Repeal Act, some clarifications were made.

As per this provision, if actual physical possession not taken by Government, than after Repeal Act came into force in 1999, the Government cannot take such land.

Supreme Court also gave recent judgements to clarify above issue.
