Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Orissa High Court's order refusing permission for the transfer of government land was unsustainable but erred in directing the State Government to grant such permission. Instead, the Court mandated that the matter be remitted to the State Government for a fresh decision on the application for transfer, in line with the principles established in Union of India & Another vs. Bilash Chand Jain & Another. The appeals were allowed, and the High Court's judgment was set aside to ensure proper administrative procedure is followed.
