Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of appellants to residential plots in Mohali, Punjab, under the policy framed by the Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation Ltd. The Court examined whether the State Government's refusal to change land use from industrial to residential was arbitrary and in bad faith, ultimately holding that the Corporation's policy for residential plot allotment was valid. The Court emphasized that the State's approval for earmarking land for industrial housing did not equate to a change in land use, thus upholding the High Court's decision.
