Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order allowing a writ petition against the auction of commercial plots near the Old Bikaner City wall, which had been declared a protected area under the Rajasthan Improvement Trust (Disposal of Urban Land) Rules, 1974. The Court found that the High Court's decision lacked sufficient reasoning and remanded the case for a fresh decision. The judgment emphasizes the need for proper justification in judicial decisions, particularly when public interest is concerned.
