Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the Delhi Agricultural Marketing Board to allot a shop to the respondent under the Delhi Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1998. The Court found that the petitioner had been waiting for an allotment since 1985 and had made multiple representations without any valid rejection from the Board. The Court emphasized that the lack of documentation supporting the Board's claim of ineligibility for the petitioner warranted the allotment of a shop at Gazipur Mandi.
