Allahabad Development Authority And ... vs Sabia Khan And Anr

The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court erred in striking down various charges levied by the first appellant without considering the involvement of the U.P. Jal Sansthan under the U.P. Water Supply & Sewage Act, 1975. The Court emphasized that judicial review must be exercised with caution, particularly regarding the legality of statutory charges, and that the High Court failed to apply the correct legal standards. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment, reinstating the charges in question.
