Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Gorakhpur Town Improvement Trust's Housing Scheme, rejecting the appellant's claims regarding the improper constitution of the Trust under the U.P. Town Improvement Act, 1919, and the subsequent U.P. Avas Evam Vikas Parishad Adhiniyam, 1966. The Court held that Section 100 of the 1919 Act validates acts and proceedings of the Trust despite any technical irregularities in the appointment of trustees. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the Housing Scheme was validly sanctioned under Section 32(1) of the 1966 Act.
