Judgment text excerpt
The case involves a challenge to the procedure adopted by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), a government company, for the disposal of land via bulk sale. The primary legal issue is whether the land allotment process followed by a government entity must strictly adhere to principles of transparency and fairness. The Court examined the objectives of CIDCO in developing infrastructure and providing affordable residential and commercial plots.
