Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Jullundur Improvement Trust's resolution to allot land to the plaintiff-respondent, a trustee, was invalid as it contravened the state government's directive prohibiting such allotments. The Court found that no binding contract existed between the parties due to the cancellation of the original scheme and the existence of a new modified scheme. Consequently, the Court set aside the lower courts' decrees, ruling that the injunction sought by the plaintiff-respondent could not be granted.
