Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the constitutionality of Sections 9 and 10 of the Bombay Town Planning Act, 1954, in relation to Articles 14 and 19 of the Constitution. The Court held that these sections, which allow modifications to a development plan without giving affected parties an opportunity to represent their interests, are unconstitutional. The petitioners' claim that their land's redesignation for a recreation centre was unauthorized and violated their rights was upheld, leading to the conclusion that the Municipal Corporation's actions were invalid.
