Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that the Haryana Government's policy on the allotment of land for industrial purposes must adhere to the principles of fairness and transparency as mandated by Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that arbitrary decisions in land allotment violate the right to equality and can be challenged under Article 226. The appeal was allowed, and the allotment made under the challenged policy was set aside, reinforcing the need for a rational basis in administrative actions.
