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 was previously declared a protected area. The Court noted that the High Court failed to provide adequate reasoning for its decision and remanded the case for a fresh decision in accordance with law. The judgment emphasizes the need for proper justification in judicial decisions, particularly when public interest and urban planning are involved.
