UNION OF INDIA vs JAIN SABHA ,NEW DELHI

The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision regarding the allotment of land to Jain Sabha, stating that the government cannot charge market rates for Nazul land allotted for educational purposes as per the policy of 'no profit no loss'. The Court confirmed that the original allotment rate of Rs.5000 per acre should apply to the initial 1.363 acres, while the excess land of 0.787 acres could be charged at Rs.8 lakhs per acre. The judgment reinforces the principle that educational institutions should not be burdened with excessive land costs under government policy.
