JUDGMENT :
1. The appellant has filed the present appeal, impugning an order dated 25.10.2025 [impugned order] passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P. No. 25036/2015 (GM-KIADB) captioned, M/s. R.S. Kalyani Hotels Pvt. Ltd. v. The State of Karnataka & Others.

Non-compliance with payment schedules in allotment agreements leads to automatic cancellation of rights to the property.
The court ruled that allotment cancellation for non-payment is valid without prior notice, as applicable law requires notice only post-lease execution, which was not applicable here.
Non-payment of lease salami within stipulated time does not automatically cancel allotment; requires active governmental cancellation, establishing a directory interpretation of time limits.
The cancellation of allotment was justified due to the petitioner's failure to comply with payment terms, emphasizing the importance of adhering to auction conditions and public interest.
The court reinforced that failure to execute necessary agreements and comply with payment terms nullifies any claims to land allotment rights, even where intentions to pay exist.
Writ petitions can be maintained against administrative actions affecting contracts, especially when principles of natural justice and public policy are at stake.
