S.N. RAO & ORS. ETC. vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petitions challenging the legality of resolutions and the order granting exemption under Section 20 of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act. The Court held that the Municipal Commissioner was unjustified in rejecting the development plan based on a non-existent draft revised plan, emphasizing that concrete material is required to support such rejections. The Court noted that the sanctioned plan was consistent with the subsequently published draft revised plan, and the petitioners did not seriously contest the validity of the resolution.
