Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the procedure followed under the Punjab Town Improvement Act, 1922, specifically Sections 36, 38, and 40, in the acquisition of land for a truck scheme in Moga. The Court found that the notices inviting objections were duly published and that the respondents were given adequate opportunity to present their objections, which they failed to do. Consequently, the Court affirmed the validity of the scheme and the actions taken by the Improvement Trust, dismissing the appeal against the High Court's decision.
