Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision affirming the lower courts' rulings that declared the resumption of an industrial plot allotted to the respondent as illegal. The Court noted that the appellant's right to resume the plot under Clause 8 of the agreement was invalidated due to the existence of high tension wires, which prevented the respondent from complying with the construction timeline. The Court emphasized that the appellant's failure to remove the obstructions constituted a breach of their obligations, thus affirming the respondent's possession rights.
