Voltas Ltd vs Teshildar & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision that Voltas Limited breached the conditions of the land allotment order, specifically Condition No. 7, which prohibited alienation without prior government permission. The Court affirmed that the government was entitled to recover unearned income amounting to Rs. 14,11,45,851/- due to this breach. The judgment reinforces the principle that compliance with statutory conditions in land allotment is mandatory, and non-compliance can lead to forfeiture and financial penalties under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
