UNION TERRITORY CHANDIGARH vs JOHNSON PAINTS AND VARNISH

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the High Court's order directing the re-allotment of an industrial site under Rule 11-D of the Chandigarh (Sale of Sites and Building) Rules, 1960. The Court held that the Estate Officer's refusal to retransfer the site was unjustified, as there was no evidence of third-party rights created by the original allottee, Kulraj Singh Paul. The Court confirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the conditions for re-allotment were satisfied, thus allowing the appeal for re-allotment.
