LUCKNOW DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY,LUCKNOW vs JITENDRA MOHAN — C.A. No. 2502/2011

Case Summary: Lucknow Development Authority v. Jitendra Mohan (C.A. No. 2502/2011) The Supreme Court allowed Lucknow Development Authority's appeal against the Allahabad High Court's order that had imposed Rs. 2 lakhs cost on the Authority for filing false affidavits and misleading the court. The Court set aside this cost imposition on the ground that no notice was issued to the Authority before making adverse comments and imposing exemplary costs, finding such procedural safeguard essential before such action. The Court declined to remand the matter given the considerable time elapsed, thereby providing complete relief to the appellant Authority.
