Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of appellants to residential plots in Mohali, Punjab, developed by the Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation Ltd. The Court examined whether the State Government's refusal to sanction a change of land use from industrial to residential was arbitrary and in bad faith. It held that the Corporation's policy for residential plot allotment, although not explicitly authorized by the State Government, was valid and did not violate any statutory provisions, thus allowing the appeals for allotment of plots.
