Parshotam Lal & Anr vs State Of Punjab & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the discretion of the Revisional/Appellate Authority regarding the percentage of forfeiture on the surrender of plots, emphasizing that a uniform standard cannot be applied due to varying factual circumstances. The Court directed that, in light of the peculiar facts of the cases at hand, the percentage of forfeiture for the appellants be reduced to 2%. The decision was made to ensure justice, but the Court clarified that this order should not be treated as a precedent.
