The petitioners sought to exercise their right of choice to surrender the excess land.

Learned counsel contended that the petitioners had a right to surrender excess land according to their choice. But there is no land left with the petitioners which they can choose to surrender as they have already sold the entire land of their entitlement. 4. There is no merit in this petition. It is dismissed.
