Manohar Lal (D) By Lrs vs Ugrasen (D) By Lrs. & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the State Government, acting as a Revisional Authority, cannot assume the role of a lower statutory authority, as per the principles of administrative law. The Court ruled that actions taken by a statutory authority in violation of an interim court order are unenforceable, and emphasized that courts cannot grant relief that was not specifically sought by the parties. The judgment of the Allahabad High Court quashing the allotment of land to Manohar Lal and directing allotment to Ugrasen was upheld, reinforcing the need for adherence to statutory procedures and court orders.
