Rajasthan Imposition of Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Rules, 1973–Rule 17(3)(a)–22.39 acres land was found excess–Petitioner was asked to opt for retention of 30 acres land by indicating the portion–He failed to do so and filed the application for allotment of land found to be in excess–Rule 17(3)(a) does not entitle a land-holder to get allotment of the land after acq- uisition–Otherwise, the object of ceiling proceedings would be frustrated–Further, the petitioners challenged the order of BOR after delay of 16 years–No explanation–Held, petition is liable to be dismissed.
