Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Additional Collector (Finance), Meerut, acted unjustly in disposing of the petition against the cancellation of allotment through an ex-parte order, violating principles of natural justice. The Court found that the subsequent confirmations of this order by the Additional Commissioner, Board of Revenue, and the High Court were erroneous. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remanded for a fresh hearing with due opportunity for all parties involved.
