Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the validity of certain government orders concerning the allotment of land and the applicability of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959. The Court held that the allotment process must adhere to the principles of transparency and fairness as mandated by Article 14 of the Constitution. The judgment emphasized that arbitrary actions by the state in land allotment violate the rights of citizens and must be struck down, thereby upholding the petitioner's challenge against the state orders.
