3. Proceedings were intiated against the petitioners under section 128 of the U.P. Land Revenue Code, 2006.

4. The contention of the petitioners is that they were allotted the land on 22.02.1976 which was approved by the S.D.M. on 11.05.1976. Notices were issued to the petitioners on 3.04.2016 to which they have also filed their objection on 23.06.2016.

Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950 as well as Section 128 (1) - (a) read with section 230 of the U.P. L
