Improvement Trust Ropar Through ... vs Shashi Bala

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive to allot a plot to Shashi Bala under the discretionary quota, emphasizing the importance of fulfilling social obligations by the state. The court noted that the allotment was made in accordance with the Punjab Town Improvement (Utilization of Land and Allotment of Plots) Rules, 1983, and that the Trust's refusal to comply lacked sufficient justification. Consequently, the appeal by the Improvement Trust was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
