MAYANK RASTOGI vs V K BANSAL

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in concluding that a plot of land allotted to the appellant could not be converted to a residential plot, as it was designated as an open space. The Court emphasized that the Development Plan approved on 15th February 1991 under Section 19(1) of the Madhya Pradesh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhinayam, 1973, designated the plot as residential, and the respondent did not challenge this notification. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and dismissed the writ petition filed by the respondent, affirming the appellant's right to construct on the plot.
