Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the appellant's method of allotment via Swiss Challenge was not permissible as it deviated from the terms outlined in the original advertisement. The Court emphasized that the respondent, being the sole applicant, was entitled to the plot as per the advertisement's conditions, and thus directed the appellant to issue an allotment letter for the alternative plots with a proportionate cost reduction. The ruling clarified the binding nature of the advertisement's terms on the allotment process.
