Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's rejection of the writ petition was justified as the appellants had an equally efficacious remedy of filing a civil suit, thus not allowing the invocation of writ jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the unilateral enhancement of the plot rate by CIDCO was not valid under Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act, as it was contrary to public policy. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
