Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the Trust's refusal to allot land to the appellant under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1). The Court held that the Trust's decision to deny allotment based on the timing of the appellant's land purchase was not justified, as the appellant had complied with the Land Policy requirements. The Court directed the Trust to reconsider the appellant's application for allotment, thereby upholding the principles of fair administrative action and the right to property under Article 300A of the Constitution.
