Bahadursinh Lakhubhai Gohil vs Jagdishbhai M. Kamalia And Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the respondent No. 7's claim to incorporate his name in the municipal lease register for Plot No. 2557 was invalid due to non-payment of the auction amount and lack of action for 46 years. The Court emphasized that the allotment was forfeited as per the rules due to the failure to pay the balance amount and that allowing the claim would result in significant financial loss to the Corporation. The Court upheld the decision of the Corporation to reject the request for incorporation, affirming the principle that long delays in asserting rights can lead to forfeiture of claims under municipal regulations.
