Prem Kumar And Anr vs State Of U.P. And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court's order allowing a writ petition without impleading the appellants was erroneous. The Court emphasized that the order dated 21.3.1986, which declared certain lands as surplus, did not pertain to the appellants, Bhairo Prasad and Ram Prasad. The Court set aside the High Court's decision, reinforcing the principle that parties must be heard before any order affecting their rights is made, thereby upholding the principles of natural justice under Article 14 of the Constitution.
