Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the supplementary scheme under the United Provinces Town Improvement Act (8 of 1908), determining that the acquisition of land for industrial development was in line with the Act's objectives as per Section 24(h) and Section 32. The Court clarified that the original and supplementary schemes constituted a composite scheme aimed at industrial growth, and the Trust retained control over the execution, thus not constituting a private gain for the industrialist. The High Court's decision to dismiss the appellants' suit was affirmed, validating the Trust's power to acquire land under Section 23(a).
