Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Bhubaneswar Development Authority's (BDA) method of allotting plots on a 'First Come First Served' basis, as per the advertisement dated 07.01.2000. The Court held that the methodology was not just or proper, emphasizing the need for transparency and fairness in public allotments, thereby setting a precedent for future allotment processes. The Court directed the BDA to reconsider its allotment process in light of the criticisms raised and the need for a fairer approach.
