casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Smt. Shyamo Devi v. State of U.P. (C.A. No. 5539/2012) Court Decision: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside orders attempting to cancel land allotments made to poor villagers 13 years after approval. Key Reasoning: Although Section 122-C(6) of the U.P. Zamindari Abolition Act permits cancellation of irregular allotments without a specified time limit, such suo moto power must be exercised within a reasonable period, not indefinitely. The court found no fraud was properly alleged against the allottees and ruled that initiating cancellation proceedings 13 years after approved allotment—during which poor families had constructed homes—violated principles of natural justice and caused undue hardship.
