Imposition of Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1973 Section 15(2)— Para 13 —Chapter III-B of the Tenancy Act, providing the ceiling of the land holder, prescribes the ceiling area for a family consisting of five or less than five members to be 30 standard acres and in case the members of the family exceeds 5, the ceiling area in relation thereto was to be increased for each additional member by 5 standard acres, so as to, that the total ceiling area applicable to such family does not exceed total 60 standard acres of land, meaning thereby that an individual or a family upto five members were entitled to retain 30 standard acres of land whereas each member of the family over and above was entitled to 5 standard acres of land subject to the total not exceeding 60 standard acres. The family has been defined u/S. 30-B i.e. consisting of a husband and wife, their children and grand-children being dependent on them and the widowed mother of the husband so dependent. The intention of the legislature was to make a provision of 5 standard acres for each of the family member dependent upon such land holder to the maximum being 30 standard acres over and above the permissible area of the family total being 60 standard acres and if any of the landholder declares that any of his son or any person mentioned in the family is not dependent upon his or is not dependent on the land held by him, he was to be excluded from the definition of family but by no stretch of imagination it can be said that any such non-dependent person was entitled to any extra share in the land holders land or can be treated as a separate unit or that such not dependent person can be deemed to have a separate share under the Hindu Law or coparcenary law under the Ceiling Law. The Succession Act, 1956 has taken care of this aspect in Sec. 4(2). It is immaterial to say that the land as entered on the notified date was either ancestral or not ancestral. The land of the khatedar was to be determined for the purpose of surplus area irrespective of the fact whether it is ancestral or not.

No artificial definition or meaning can be attributed to the definition of family provided under the Act for the purpose of defeating the very purpose of declaration of ceiling. In case of Joint Hindu Family property the same principle shall also be applicable. The law of ceiling does not discriminate so far the declaration of ceiling area is concerned between the property held by Hindu joint or otherwise or any other religion or community. The land ceiling were bound to be declared as permissible as provided u/S. 30-C after taking into the definition of family." jktLFkku mPp U;k;ky; ds bl fu.kZ; dks jktLo e.My ds ekuuh; lnL; Jh vkksd tSu us Hkh vius fu.kZ; esa foLrkjiwoZd m)fjr fd;k gS rFkk 2001 vkj-vkj-Mh- 445 Jherh fudksnsoh ,oa vU; cuke~ jkt- jkT; ,oa vU; esa mUgksaus vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk ua- 9 esa fy[kk gS fd & iSjk ua- 9 & ^^bl ubZ O;oLFkk ls vc 1992 vkj-vkj-Mh- ist 107 ij iwoZ esa bl U;k;ky; }kjk Áfrikfnr ukskuy fgLls vyx djus dk fl)kUr viuk;k ugha tk ldrk gSA bl O;oLFkk ds vuqlkj ;g ns[kk tkuk dkuwu lEer ugha gS fd ,lslh dh Hkwfe iSr`d gS ;k ugha rFkk ;g Hkh ns[kuk vko;d ugha gS fd ,lslh ds iq=ksa@iqf=;ksa esa ls fnukad 1-4-1966 dks dkSu ckfyx vFkok ukckfyx FksA dsoy ;g tkap vko;d gS fd muesa ls dkSu dkSu iq=@iqf=;ka ,lslh ij vkfJr FksA oSls ;g fl)kUr iwoZ esa Hkh 1989 vkj-vkj-Mh- 127 lfgr vusd iwoZ fu.kZ;ksa esa Áfrikfnr gS fd ,lslh dh larkuksa dk ,lslh ij vkfJr gksuk ;k u gksuk dsoy muds ckfyx@ukckfyx gksus ds vk/kkj ij r; ugha gks ldrk oju~ blds fy, vU; vk/kkj@lk{; vko;d gSA** blh dkuwuh fcUnq ij jktLFkku mPp U;k;ky; ds ekuuh; U;k;k/khk Jh ts-lh- oekZ us 2000 vkj-vkj-Mh- 173 esa jkeÁrki cuke~ ljdkj ds Ádj.k es ;g vfHker O;ä fd;k gS fd& Rajasthan Tenancy Act, Chapt.

Sarin vs. Ajit Kumar Poplai and another, AIR 1966 SC 432 , it was held that the partition of Hindu joint family was not a transfer within Sec. 14(6) of the Transfer of Property Act, it was held as under: Having regard to the basic character of joint Hindu family property, each coparcener has an antecedent title to the said property though its extent is not determined until partition takes place. That being so, partition really means that whereas initially all the coparceners had subsisting title to the totality of the property of the family jointly, that joint title is transformed by partition into separate titles of the individual coparceners in respect of several items of properties allotted to them respectively. As this is the true nature of a partition, the contention that partition of an undivided Hindu family property necessarily means transfer of the property to the individual coparceners cannot be accepted. The object of Sec. 14(6) is to prevent transfers by landlords as a device to enable the purchasers to evict the tenants from the premises let out to them. Where the right to evict a tenant could not be claimed by a landlord u/S. 14(1)(e), the legislature thought that the landlord should not be permitted to create such a right by adopting the device of transferring the premises to a purchaser who may be able to prove his own individual case u/S. 14(1)(e). Having regard to the object intended to be achieved by Sec. 14(6), it cannot be held that a person who acquired property by partition can fall within the scope of its provision. In cases falling u/S. 14(6), a person who had no title to the premises and in that sense, was stranger, becomes a landlord by virtue of the transfer. The position is entirely different in the case of a partition. In cases falling u/S. 14(6), a person who had no title to the premises and in that sense, was stranger, becomes a landlord by virtue of the transfer. The position is entirely different in the case of a partition. It cannot, therefore, be held that allotment of one parcel of property to an individual coparcener as a result of partition is an acquisition of the property by transfer by the coparcener within the meaning of Sec. 14(6). blh Ádkj ekuuh; U;k;k/khk Jh oekZ us vius fu.kZ; esa Jherh :ijkt y{eh cuke~ jkt- ljdkj ,oa vU; Mh-ch- flfoy Lisky vihy ua- 26@87 fu.kZ; fnukad 19-2-1998 dks Hkh dksV fd;k tks fd 1989 vkj-vkj-Mh- ij jkt-,p-lh- dh Mhch ds ist 127 ij miyC/k fu.kZ; ds ckn dk gSA bl fu.kZ; Hkh jkt- mPp U;k;ky; dh Mhch dk gSA bl fu.kZ; dks fMldl djrs gq, ekuuh; U;k;k/khk Jh oekZ us vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk ua- 6 esa ;g fy[kk gS fd & 6. In (3) Smt. Roop Raj Laxmi vs. State of Rajasthan & others DB Civil Special Appeal No. 26/87, decided on 19.2.1998, after going through the scheme of the Act this Court had held as under: (i) The concept of the term Family in Chapter III-B is not to be connected with the term joint family as known to be in Hindu Law. (ii) Chapter III-B governs all persons irrespective of their religion or community. (iii) The lands may be held by Hindus or persons belonging to other religions and all of them are equally governed by the provisions of the Ceiling Law contained in Chapter III-B. (iv) The concept of joint family is totally foreign to the personal laws of Muslims, Christians and other communities. (v) Therefore, the expression family used in Part III cannot be equated to or connote an undivided family as known to the Hindu Law or that after partition had taken place in respect of a Hindu Family. (vi) The term family under Chapter-III does not treat the children or grand children, who are not dependent, as members of the family for purposes of ceiling law. (vii) Therefore, the circumstances that a partition has taken place disrupting the joint family consisting the father and minor sons has no relevance for determining and calculating total holdings of the person. (vi) The term family under Chapter-III does not treat the children or grand children, who are not dependent, as members of the family for purposes of ceiling law. (vii) Therefore, the circumstances that a partition has taken place disrupting the joint family consisting the father and minor sons has no relevance for determining and calculating total holdings of the person. (viii) The family for the purposes of ceiling law in Part-III is a separate unit consisting of the persons contained in the definition. In other words, the term family as defined in part-III is for the purpose of determination of excess of ceiling area. Under definition of the family contained in Sec. 30-B Part-III of the old Ceiling law a person, his wife, their children and grand children and grand children being dependent and widowed mother of the husband so dependent upon them would constitute family. It was further held in Roop Raj Laxmis case (supra) that the provisions contained in Hindu Succession Act shall have no effect on the term family contained in Chapter-III of the old Ceiling Law under the Tenancy Act in view of sub-sec. (2) of Sec. 4 of the Hindu Succession Act, which section reads as under: 4(2) For the removal of doubts it is hereby declared that nothing contained in this Act shall be deemed to affect the provisions of any law for the time being in force providing for the prevention of fragmentation of agricultural holdings or for the fixation of ceilings or for the devolutino of tenancy rights in respect of such holdings. ekuuh; U;k;k/khk Jh oekZ us vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk ua- 7 esa lhfyax fu;e 17¼2½ o 17¼4½ dh O;k[;k djrs gq, vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk ua- 7 fy[kk gS fd & Para 7 — It was further laid down that Rules 17(2) and 17(4) of the Rules of 1973 framed under the Rajasthan Land Ceiling Act do not contain any provision which runs counter to the definition family rather they supplement the definition so as to include the share of land of such member who is a constituent of the family. While deciding a ceiling matter under the old Ceiling Law, the concept of family contained in Sec. 30-B should not be treated as Hindu Undivided Family and this distinction must be kept in mind, and that the definition of the term family given under the Act has to prevail and excess land has to be determined as per the said definition. ekuuh; U;k;k/khk Jh oekZ us vius fu.kZ; esa 1991 ,-vkbZ-vkj- lq-dks- 978¼4½ ij m)fjr LVsV vkWQ egkjk"Vª cuke~ oklqnso ,oa vU; ds Ádj.k esa ekuuh; loksZPp U;k;ky; }kjk fn;s x;s fu.kZ; dk Hkh mYys[k fd;k gSA mUgksaus vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk ua- 8 esa fy[kk gS fd & Para No. 8 — As a matter of fact, in my opinion, the case of Roop Raj Laxmi (supra) is reiteration of the law as laid down by the Apex Court in the case of (4) State of Maharashtra vs. Wasudeo and another, AIR 1991 SC 978 , wherein it was held that the paramountcy of Sec. 4 of the Land Ceiling Act is to prevail and it was further observed that the High Court had not taken any logical view to any of the provision that partition effected through Court decree has the effect of diminishing surplus area by giving two separate units to the father and son respectively. The order of the High Court was not approved. mUgksaus vius mijksä fu.kZ; dks 1977 ,-vkbZ-vkj- jkt- 46 Qqy cSap ij m)fjr fu.kZ; cakh/kj ,oa vU; cuke~ ljdkj dks Hkh fMldl fd;k gS rFkk vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk ua- 9 esa fy[kk gS fd & Para 9 — Admittedly, the case of the petitioner is to be dealt with in accordance with the old law as has been held by the Full Bench of this Court in (5) Banshidhar and others vs. State, AIR 1977 Raj. 46 and as per the provisions of Sec. 4 of the New Act, wherein it is mentioned that the ceiling area applicable to any person or family in accordance with Sec. 4 if exceeds to the ceiling area to such person or family in accordance with the provisions of law repealed in that case ceiling area applicable to such person or family will be the same as was under the provisions of the said repealed law. mUgksaus vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk ua- 10 esa vEcflag ,oa vU; cuke~ ,l-Mh-vks- Hkhueky 1986¼1½ vkj-,y-vkj- 706 dh uthj dks Hkh m)fjr fd;k gS rFkk jkt- mPp U;k;ky; ,oa ekuuh; loksZPp U;k;ky; ds mijksä of.kZr leLr fu.kZ;ksa dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, mUgksaus vius fu.kZ; ds iSjk ua- 12 o 13 esa ;g Li"V fu"d"kZ fudkyk gS fd& Para 12 — Rule 17(4) only supplements the definition of family for the purpose of declaring the ceiling and not that any substantial right has been created under the said rule for diminishing the ceiling owned by the family. The true context of the Rule 17(4) can be for adopting the procedure for declaration of the ceiling that if there is joint Hindu family consisting of a member and if that member has a separate property as well, his share i.e. the share of a member of a family or individual member in the land hel by Hindu Undivided Family or share in a family shall be deemed to be the extent of land which in case such share is held on the appointed date would have been allotted to such a member, person or family, had such land been partitioned or divided, as the case may be. The rule is to be read in furtherance of the aims of the Act vis-a-vis person or family and not for diminishing the surplus area of any khatedar or any family as he be holding on the notified date. Para 13 — Chapter III-B of the Tenancy Act, providing the ceiling of the land holder, prescribes the ceiling area for a family consisting of five or less than five members to be 30 standard acres and in case the members of the family exceed 5, the ceiling area in relation thereto was to be increased for each additional member by 5 standard acres, so as to, that the total ceiling area applicable to such family does not exceed total 60 standard acres of land; meaning thereby that an individual or a family upto five members were entitled to retain 30 standard acres of land whereas each member of the family over and above was entitled to 5 standard acres of land subject to the total not exceeding 60 standard acres. The family has been defined u/S. 30-B i.e. consisting of a husband and wife, their children and grand-children being dependent on them and the widowed mother of the husband so dependent. The intention of the legislature was to make a provision of 5 standard acres for each of the family member dependent upon such land holder to the maximum being 30 standard acres over and above the permissible area of the family total being 60 standard acres and if any of the land holder declares that any of his son or any person mentioned in the family is not dependent upon him or is not dependent on the land held by him, he was to be excluded from the definition of family but by no stretch of imagination it can be said that any such non-dependent person was entitled to any extra share in the land holders or can be treated as a separate unit or that such non-dependent person can be deemed to have a separate share under the Hindu Law or Coparcenary law under the Ceiling Law. The Succession Act, 1956 has taken care of this aspect in Sec. 4(2). It is immaterial to say that the land as entered on the notified date was either ancestral or not ancestral. The land of the khatedar was to be determined for the purpose of surplus area irrespective of the fact whether it is ancestral or not. No artificial definition or meaning can be attributed to the definition of family provided under the Act for the purpose of defeating the very purpose of declaration of ceiling. In case of Joint Hindu Family property the same principle shall also be applicable. The law of ceiling does not discriminate so far the declaration of ceiling area is concerned between the property held by Hindu joint family or otherwise or any other religion or community. The land ceilings were bound to be declared as permissible as provided u/S. 30-C after taking into the definition of family.
