The Allahabad High Court's Lucknow bench ordered the Uttar Pradesh government to pay ₹20 lakh in costs and restore land to a petitioner after a structure was demolished and revenue records altered without a hearing. Justice Alok Mathur deemed the actions illegal and arbitrary, directing the rectification of records and handover of possession. An inquiry into the revenue officials' roles was also ordered, with potential recovery of costs from erring officers.
