HARBHAJAN SINGH vs STATE OF H.P. .

The Supreme Court upheld the order of the Additional Director (Consolidation) under Section 54 of the Himachal Pradesh Holdings (Consolidation and Prevention of Fragmentation) Act, 1971, which corrected the valuation of land and adjusted the allotment area between the appellant and respondent No.2.
