Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the award under the Maharashtra Regional & Town Planning Act, 1966, and the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that the High Court was correct in quashing the award due to the issuance of a corrigendum that restored the status quo ante, necessitating compliance with the procedures outlined in Sections 28, 31, and 37 of the Planning Act. The Court clarified that modifications to the reservation require adherence to statutory processes, thereby upholding the High Court's decision.
