Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Additional Collector (Finance), Meerut, acted unjustly by cancelling the allotment of a plot without considering the appellants' application for a hearing, violating principles of natural justice. The Court found that the subsequent confirmations of this order by the Additional Commissioner and the Board of Revenue were erroneous. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remanded for a fresh decision with an opportunity for hearing.
