AMRITSAR IMPROVEMENT TRUST ETC. vs BALDEVA INDER SINGH AND ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court held that the Improvement Trust must exercise its powers in accordance with the specific provisions of the Act, particularly Section 24(2), which requires the formation of a specific opinion before preparing an expansion scheme. The Court found that the Trust's resolutions indicated it was acting under Section 24(1) for a development scheme, not Section 24(2) for an expansion scheme. Consequently, the scheme was deemed invalid as it did not meet the necessary legal requirements, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
