Judgment text excerpt
The case involves a dispute over the auction of urban agricultural land by the Rehabilitation Department of the Government of India. The appellant, claiming to be a sub-lessee, challenged the sale of land that had been previously set aside by the High Court on the grounds that the press notes lacked legal force. The court examines the validity of the auction process and the competing claims of the lessee and sub-lessee against the government's sale proceedings.
