SRI KRISHNA KHANNA vs ADDITIONAL DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, KANPUR AND ORS.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming that the order of allotment under Section 7A of the Act was valid despite the appellant's claims. The Court held that the allotment was not ultra vires as it was made within the statutory framework, and the respondent had the right to apply for possession despite the prior compromise in Suit No. 132/1962. The judgment reiterated the importance of public policy in protecting weaker sections under Section 3 of the Act, referencing Murlidhar Agarwal v. State of Uttar Pradesh, AIR 1974 SC 1924.
