Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Bombay High Court's judgment quashing the allotment of land to the Angarki Cooperative Housing Society under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code. The Court held that the allotment process was not vitiated by mala fides or violation of rules, emphasizing the need for adherence to procedural fairness in administrative actions. The Court reinstated the letter of intent and the order of allotment, thereby favoring the society's claim to the land.
