GANESH CHANDER MRIG vs H.U.D.A. — C.A. No. 6841/2001

Case Summary: C.A. No. 006841/2001 (Ganesh Chander Mrig v. H.U.D.A.) The Supreme Court allowed appeals challenging the High Court's judgment on HUDA plot allotments under discretionary quota, but made it prospectively effective from 23.4.1996. The court held that while the High Court's new rigorous guidelines were valid going forward, applying them retroactively to allotments made under the earlier S.R. Dass decision (1988) would be unjust since parties had relied on that decision for nearly a decade. This prospective overruling doctrine validated prior allotments while establishing stricter accountability standards for future allotments.
