HARSH DHINGRA vs STATE OF HARYANA — C.A. No. 6840/2001

Summary of C.A. No. 006840/2001 (Harsh Dhingra v. State of Haryana) The Supreme Court allowed appeals challenging Haryana High Court's judgment on plot allotments under the Haryana Urban Development Authority Act, 1988. The Court held that the High Court's stricter guidelines for discretionary plot allotments should apply prospectively from April 23, 1996, not retrospectively, to avoid disturbing settled expectations of parties who had acted upon the earlier S.R. Dass decision for nearly a decade. The Court thus validated allotments made before April 23, 1996, while making the new regulatory framework effective from that date onwards.
