LAW FOR ALL

Allotment of site by CIDCO - later it was cancelled - Bombay High court allowed the writ and set aside the cancellation orders - Apex court held that the authorities of CIDCO showed undue favour to the respondents and managed to allot the Government land in favour of one person knowing fully well that the aforesaid proprietor of the Company, in different capacity and in dummy names, sought allotments of plots. The way CIDCO has been dealing with the Government property, it is high time, we observe, that notwithstanding Regulation 4, as contained in the Regulations, the appellant CIDCO may take all endeavour to make allotments of plots by open tender or competing bids and shall not take any decision for allotment of Government land at the instance of the Ministers and High Dignitaries for any purposes whatsoever.Taking into consideration the entire facts of the case and the law discussed hereinabove, we have no hesitation in holding that the CIDCO was justified in cancelling all the allotments made in favour of the respondents. these appeals are allowed and the judgment and order passed by the High Court in the writ petitions are set aside.=Civil Appeal No.9264 of 2014 (Arising out of Special Leave Petition (C) No. 1117 of 2010) City Industrial Development Thr. its Managing Director … Appellant (s) Versus Platinum Entertainment and others … Respondent(s) = 2014- Sept.
