Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the notification issued under Section 52 of the Rajasthan Urban Improvement Act, 1959, was invalid as it did not conform to the requirements of a sanctioned notified scheme under the Jaipur Development Authority Act. The Court overruled the previous decision of the Rajasthan High Court in the Narain case, stating it was not good law, and emphasized that acquisition proceedings must align with the master plan. Consequently, the Court upheld the Full Bench ruling of the Rajasthan High Court, affirming the necessity of a properly framed scheme for valid acquisition.
