Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition and appeal regarding the cancellation of the site allotment by the Mysore Urban Development Authority. The Court found that the appellant failed to pay the remaining balance of Rs.2343/- within the stipulated time, leading to the cancellation of the allotment. The Court emphasized the principle of laches, noting that eleven years had passed since the allotment, and thus the appellant could not claim any equity or relief under the circumstances.
