ULCRA Section 10(4) | Post-Notification Property Transfers Void Ab Initio; Transferees Lack Locus Standi to Challenge Acquisition : MP HC Gwalior

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that any transfer of land after a Section 10(1) notification under the Urban Land Ceiling Act is void from the outset, stripping subsequent transferees of any legal standing to contest the acquisition. This clarifies that buyers cannot rely on post-notification deeds to assert rights against the state’s acquisition, reinforcing statutory supremacy over private transactions in ceiling land cases.
