The court also construed the direction that allotment be made "under intimation to the landlord" as requiring notice of the allotment, not a separate seven-day prior notice before allotment. The landlord's interests were held sufficiently protected by the ability to object and by the power to cancel an allotment for adequate reasons, so the allotment to another government servant remained valid. en-us Wed, 25 Aug 1965 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 11:12:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171599 A statutory time-limit in a beneficial allotment scheme was treated as directory rather than mandatory because the scheme aimed to protect government servant-tenants and sustain public work; non-compliance with the outgoing tenant's fifteen-day notice requirement therefore did not invalidate a later allotment order.
