SHRI P. G. GUPTA vs STATE OF GUJRAT & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of government resolutions regarding the allotment of houses under the hire purchase scheme, specifically concerning categories (iii) and (vi) as per the Gujarat Housing Board Act, 1961. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the entitlement of these categories, emphasizing that the resolutions contravened statutory regulations under Section 74 of the Act. The Court concluded that the government lacked the authority under Section 82 to issue resolutions that contradict established statutory provisions, thereby affirming the High Court's ruling.
