Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land allotment under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically examining the authority of the State Government as a Revisional Authority. The Court held that the State Government could not assume the role of a lower statutory authority and that actions taken in contravention of court orders are unenforceable. The judgment of the Allahabad High Court was quashed, and the allotment made in favor of Manohar Lal was upheld, affirming the need for adherence to statutory procedures and judicial orders.
