ALLAHABAD BANK vs STATE OF WEST BENGAL .

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the writ petition by the Calcutta High Court was erroneous as it failed to consider the appellant-Bank's repeated representations to the State Government regarding exemption under the Urban Ceiling and Regulation Act, 1976. The Court emphasized that Section 19(2) and Section 20 of the Act provide for remedies in such situations, and the delay in filing the writ petition was justified due to inaction by the authorities. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the matter be reconsidered by the appropriate authority.
