STATE OF PUNJAB vs MEWA SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the Punjab and Haryana High Court erred in directing the allotment of a plot to the respondent at the rate prevalent in 1985, 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 respondent's entitlement was not established in earlier proceedings, and the fresh allotment was valid. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside.
