Chandigarh Administrator vs Manjit Kumar Gulati

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the order of resumption of a plot under the Chandigarh Lease Hold of Sites and Building Rules, 1973, emphasizing that the allottees must be given an opportunity to pay outstanding dues before any resumption action is taken. The Court clarified that the respondents are required to communicate the outstanding amount and formalities for payment, failing which the resumption order would be revived. The judgment reinforces the principle of fair opportunity in administrative actions concerning property rights under the relevant rules.
