Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's Resolution No. 588 dated 25th August, 1965, which permitted building activities on specific plots, was valid despite earlier resolutions due to the erroneous mention of plot numbers. The Court established that the Society's actions in negotiating land exchanges and the subsequent construction of roads were legitimate under the revised layout plan. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the Society acted within its rights and the Municipal Corporation's resolutions were binding.
