State Of U.P. & Anr vs Satya Narain Kapoor (Dead) By Lrs. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over the allotment of Nazul Shop Nos. 195 and 196 in Allahabad, focusing on the rights of claimants under the Rules for the Grant of Leases of Subzimandi Shops in the Allahabad District. The Court held that the subsequent agreement by the State to convert the shops to freehold in favor of Smt. Rafiqunnisa rendered the earlier claims infructuous, leading to the dismissal of the writ petitions. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to procedural rules in allotment disputes, particularly in light of the 1940 and 1942 Government Orders.
