Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a Public Interest Litigation concerning the allotment of land to appellants in lieu of their acquired lands under Section 8 of the Bombay Merged Territory and Areas (Jagir Abolition Act) of 1953. The Court held that the High Court's interference in the administrative decision regarding land allotment was unwarranted, emphasizing the principle of legitimate expectation for the appellants. The Court upheld the Deputy Collector's orders granting land to the appellants, affirming the validity of the government's policy on rehabilitation.
