Umrao Singh & Ors vs State Of M.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Collector's cancellation of land allotment to zamindars was justified as the executive instructions under which the allotment was made had been withdrawn. The Court found that the Collector did not exercise suo-moto powers but acted on a pending matter, thus upholding the High Court's decision that the executive instructions created only a concession and not a right. The appeal by the zamindars was dismissed, affirming the cancellation of the allotment.
