Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision regarding the allotment of land to Mr. Sourav Ganguly for educational purposes, affirming that the allottee must pay Rs.43,25,500/- to retain leasehold rights, as per the terms of the allotment letter dated 17.2.2009. The Court emphasized the validity of the allotment process and the discretion of the government to change land location and revise rates as stated in the advertisement. The judgment reinforced the principle that lease agreements are contingent upon compliance with stipulated financial obligations.
