Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the demand for additional payment by the defendants regarding Plot No.940 was invalid as it was not based on any award under the Land Acquisition Act, thus violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that once an allotment is made, it cannot be revoked without proper legal basis. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the demand letter dated January 15, 1993, and affirming the plaintiff's entitlement to the plot without additional charges.
