The State had filed a revision, which has been partly allowed and matter has been remitted to decide afresh. 2. Learned counsel for petitioners submits that proceeding under Section 198 (4) of the Act of 1950 is barred by the provision of 198 (6) of the Act of 1950 as cancellation proceeding has been initiated after five years. 3. Learned Standing Counsel could not dispute the legal proposition. 4. I have heard the respective counsel and perused the material on record. 5. It is an admitted fact that land in dispute was allotted to the petitioners in the year 2008 and cancellation proceeding has been initiated in the year 2014 after lapse of six years. The proceeding in question is barred in view of the provision of Section 198 (6) of the Act of 1950. 6.
