https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=769471 The Allahabad HC upheld the cancellation of an allotment letter by the development authority for non-payment of dues, rejecting the petitioner's challenge on grounds of arbitrariness and disproportionality. The court held that allotment letters and lease deeds coexist, and cancellation of the allotment effectively cancels the lease deed. While the primary ground for cancellation was non-payment of dues, the authority properly considered non-development as a relevant factor. The court found the cancellation lawful and not violative of proportionality doctrine, given persistent defaults and public interest considerations.
