BEG RAJ SINGH vs STATE OF U.P. .

The Supreme Court held that the State Government's decision to set aside the Collector's order granting a two-year extension of a sand mining lease was unjustified. The Court emphasized that the original lease should have been for a minimum of three years as per the policy decision outlined in the G.O. dated 25.5.1995. The Court ruled that the appellant was entitled to the extension, and the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was overturned, reinstating the Collector's order.
