Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the non-impleadment of beneficiaries in a writ petition challenging the allotment of land is fatal to the case, as it violates the principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that no order adverse to a party should be passed without hearing them, referencing the case of Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore Ltd. vs. Regional Director, ESI. The appeal was accepted, the impugned order set aside, and the matter remanded to the High Court for fresh consideration after allowing the impleaded parties to present their counter affidavits.
