Cancellation of allotment of land on the basis of an alleged false affidavit - Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) property - the petitioner argued that the Defence Colony property, previously owned by him, was absorbed into the HUF before the acquisition of his land in Yakootpur, rendering him eligible for an alternate plot - The court rejected the petitioner's contention that the property being in the HUF's name exempted him from disclosure, underscoring that an HUF and its members hold collective ownership of its properties. Consequently, the court held that the petitioner's failure to disclose his interest in the Defence Colony property, irrespective of its HUF status, disqualified him from the allotment under the scheme.
