JUDGMENT U.C. Srivastava , J. - This writ petition has been filed by the four person who had purchased the land from the recorded tenure-holder Smt. Rani Chandrawati Devi opposite party No. 4 in the basic year 1973-74. On coming to know that a notice under Section 10(2) of the Act was issued to the original tenure-holder, the petitioner applied for their impleadment as a party to the proceedings which were allowed except the application of Baldeo, petitioner No. 4. His revision was also dismissed. The Prescribed Authority did not exclude the land transferred in favour of the petitioners and rejected their objections. The appeals filed against it were also dismissed by the District Judge on the ground that notification under Section 9 of the Act was published on October 10, 1973 and as such the tenure-holder was Bot entitled to hold more land. But in view of the fact that the land bad been transferred in favour of the petitioners for consideration, therefore, the application of Baldeo was wrongly rejected while the application by other transferees was allowed and the land which was transferred to the petitioners in liable to be excluded as far as possible from the ceiling statement of the tenure-holder in view of the provisions of Section 12-A(d) of the Act The plea of the tenure-holder that the said land be excluded from his holding for determining the surplus land and similar plea by the transferees was rightly rejected. 2. Thus the writ petition is allowed to this extent that while calculating the surplus land, the land which is subject matter of transfer in favour of the petitioner including Baldeo will be excluded as far as possible from the ceiling statement of the original tenure-holder in view of the provisions of Section 12-A(d) of the Act. The order passed by the District Judge is quashed in part and the Prescribed Authority is directed to recalculate the surplus land by excluding as far as possible the land purchased by the petitioners from the surplus land of Smt. Rani Chandrawati Devi. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There will be no order as to costs.
