M. MANIKLAL vs THE STATE OF MYSORE

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal concerning land acquisition under the City of Bangalore Improvement Act, 1945, holding that the appellant was properly notified as per Section 16(2) since the revenue register included the names of the previous owners. The Court clarified that Section 15(3) does not create an enforceable right for the appellant to claim a plot in the housing scheme, but rather indicates a discretionary consideration for accommodation if land is available. The High Court's decision was upheld, affirming the dismissal of the writ petition.
