As per case facts, petitioners challenged a Tribunal order affirming a Land Reforms Officer's finding that gift deeds by their grandmother were benami, not bona fide transactions, leading to land ... being above ceiling limits. Petitioners argued a lack of cross-examination, that the officer acted as judge of his own cause, and that a Supreme Court judgment on transactions predating a specific amendment and the 1953 Act's ceiling limits should apply. The question arose whether the gift deeds were bona fide, if natural justice was followed, and the correct application of the 1955 Act's benami provisions given the transaction date and interplay with the 1953 Act. Finally, the Court found no prejudice from lack of cross-examination due to the petitioner's own admissions, which indicated the gifts were not true donations. It ruled that the 1955 Act's ceiling limits apply, not the 1953 Act's, and distinguished the Supreme Court's judgment. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's decision, finding no illegality as the raiyat's land exceeded the ceiling limits if the gifts were ignored.
