Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's decision to quash the cancellation of allotment of land to Respondent No. 1, determining that the cancellation order was invalid. The Court emphasized that the respondent had made necessary disclosures and complied with the requirements set forth by the Housing Department, including affidavits regarding property ownership. The judgment reinforced the principle that administrative actions must be based on valid grounds and proper procedure, thereby affirming the respondent's entitlement to the allotment.
