Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the High Court's direction regarding land allotment, holding that the classification made by the State was improper and that others were entitled to land allotment. The Court acknowledged the State's affidavit indicating that Charnoi land would not be reduced below 2% in any village and could be allotted for public utility projects. Consequently, the Court disposed of the appeals, allowing the State's revised policy to prevail over the previous directive.
