Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited (APIIC) cannot cancel the allotment of industrial plots to respondents for non-establishment of units within two years, as the delay in providing essential infrastructure facilities like roads and electricity hindered the respondents' ability to comply with the terms. The Court emphasized that the failure to provide necessary infrastructure constitutes a valid ground for the respondents' inability to implement their projects, thus upholding the respondents' rights to the plots. The judgment clarifies that the conditions of allotment must be reasonably fulfilled by the Corporation to ensure compliance by the allottees under the agreements.
