U.P. Avas Evam Vikas Parishad vs Ram Krishna & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a housing scheme notified under Section 28 of the Uttar Pradesh Avas Evam Vikas Parishad Adhiniyam, 1965, which was challenged for lack of prior approval from the State Government. The Court reaffirmed the principle established in U.P. Avas Evam Vikas Parishad & another vs. Friends Coop. Housing Society Ltd. that prior approval is not necessary for the scheme's validity, but subsequent approval validates prior actions. The matter was referred to a larger bench for further consideration on the necessity of State approval under Section 16 before publication under Section 28, leading to the conclusion that the appeals require a three-judge bench for resolution.
