State Of Punjab & Anr vs Mewa Singh

The Supreme Court held that the Punjab and Haryana High Court's direction to allot a plot to the respondent at the 1985 rate was erroneous, as the respondent had previously agreed to the rate of Rs.3,200/- per square yard in the allotment letter dated 13.7.2001. The Court emphasized that the entitlement of the respondent was not established in earlier proceedings, and the fresh allotment made was valid. Consequently, the judgment of the High Court was set aside, reaffirming the applicability of the agreed rate for the plot allotment.
