Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Bombay High Court's order dismissing the writ petition challenging the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation's decision to repudiate a land allotment contract. The Court held that the High Court should have considered the merits of the case rather than mischaracterizing the petition as one for specific performance. The appeal was disposed of with directions to restore the writ petition for proper adjudication, ensuring no third-party interests are created until the matter is resolved.
