HAZARAT ALI vs SPL. LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER

The Supreme Court held that when an order of cancellation is quashed due to lack of notice to the affected party, the lower court should allow the concerned authority to issue a fresh order in accordance with the law. The failure to provide such liberty resulted in prejudice to the appellant. The Court modified the impugned orders, clarifying that the concerned officer is permitted to pass a fresh order after giving reasonable opportunity of hearing to the affected persons.
