Case Summary: State of U.P. v. Ram Bachan Singh (C.A. No. 4200-4201/2004) On July 20, 2005, the Supreme Court dismissed the State of U.P.'s appeals challenging lower court orders that upheld respondent Ram Bachan Singh's charitable donation of 19 acres of land and ₹10 lakhs for establishing a degree college. The Court found no illegality in the impugned judgment and directed the State to proceed with college construction without delay, hoping completion would occur during Singh's lifetime (he was approximately 103 years old). The Court also directed investment of the ₹10 lakhs in a nationalized bank for scholarship purposes and noted the Chief Minister's assurance of State cooperation with the project.
