MUNICIPAL CORPORATION vs CHELARAM & SONS & ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the decree of the City Civil Court, which quashed the notice issued by the Municipal Corporation under Section 54 of the Bombay Town Planning Act, 1955, citing violations of natural justice. The Court found that the notice was illegal as it failed to provide an opportunity to the respondents to contest their eviction. The judgment of the Gujarat High Court, which had reversed the City Civil Court's decision, was set aside, affirming the lower court's ruling.
