Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of allotment made to respondent no.2 was invalid as it was done without providing an opportunity for a hearing, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the learned Single Judge should have allowed the concerned authority to issue a fresh order in accordance with law after hearing all parties involved. The appeal was allowed in part, modifying the previous orders to permit the authority to act lawfully while ensuring due process is followed.
