These two appeal arise out of order dated 02.06.2000 passed by the learned Single Judge whereby, the writ petition filed by the writ petitioner-Meethya has been partly allowed, holding that a further extent of land of 30 standard acres is found to be within the limits to which the agriculture land could be held by the holders.

2. The facts as a revealed from the records of the cases and the orders impugned before us as also from the orders passed by the Revenue Authorities are that ceiling proceedings were initiated against the khatedar/writ-petitioner-Meethya under the ceiling laws applicable in force in the State of Rajasthan under the scheme of Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955 (for short, ‘the Act of 1955’). After completing the proceedings, the competent authority brought the proceedings to end vide order dated 17.11.1971. Later on, however, the State Government was satisfied that the order passed earlier was in contravention of the law which was in force at the time when the order was passed and therefore, on 01.05.1981, the State directed the Revenue Authority to reopen the case which led to reopening and passing of an order by the Additional Collector, Sawaimadhopur o
