UNION OF INDIA vs G. SAREEN

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the requirement for a refugee registration certificate was unnecessary for the respondent to receive possession of a plot allotted in 1956. The Court found that the delay in possession was solely due to the appellants and that the increase in land prices was not a valid reason to deny the respondent's claim. The appeal was dismissed, and the direction for costs of Rs. 25,000 was deleted, affirming the respondent's entitlement to relief without needing to approach a civil court.
