Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's directive to the State of Haryana for the allotment of 20 standard acres of land under the Displaced Persons (Compensation & Rehabilitation) Act, 1954, was improper as it lacked an inquiry into the factual basis of the claim. The Court emphasized that the High Court should have directed the State to consider the claim rather than mandating immediate allotment and possession. The appeal by the State was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order.
