Ghaziabad Development Authority vs Machhla Devi

The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court's order, which nullified the GDA's cancellation of allotment without notice, was improper as it violated principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) must be given an opportunity to be heard before any such order is passed, as per the principles laid down in Article 14 of the Constitution. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reinstating the GDA's cancellation of the allotment.
