Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision regarding the Government's authority under Sections 44 and 257 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, to revise suo moto orders issued by the Collector. The Court found that the Government's actions were bona fide and in public interest, despite a lack of diligence. The Court maintained the High Court's order for compensation to the appellants for costs incurred on their project, affirming the necessity of compensation and interest from October 7, 1983.
