Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether suppression of material facts justifies the condonation of a 2205-day delay in filing a review application under the Urban Land Ceiling Act, 1976. The Court held that the appellants' failure to disclose prior litigation and the resultant ex-parte orders constituted suppression, thereby denying the condonation application. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the finality of the earlier orders and the State's actions regarding surplus land allotment under Sections 10(3) and 23 of the Act.
