RAIPUR DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY vs ANUPAM SAHKARI GRIHA NIRMAN SAMITI

The Supreme Court interpreted Sections 50(2) and 50(3) of the M.P. Town and Country Development Act, 1973, alongside Rule 18 of the M.P. Town and Country Development Rules, 1975, affirming that the draft scheme must be published within two years of the initial declaration. The Court held that the High Court's quashing of the draft scheme was incorrect, as the statutory authority had acted within its powers. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, reinstating the draft scheme for development.
