Secunderabad Cantonment Board,Andhra ... vs Mohammed Mohiuddin And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Andhra Pradesh High Court's order regarding the refusal to sanction construction plans on land within the Secunderabad Cantonment limits, citing Section 181 of the Cantonment Act, 1924. The Court held that the Cantonment Board's objections based on the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 were unfounded, as previous judgments had established that no exemption certificate was necessary. The Court ultimately directed the Cantonment authorities to reconsider the sanction of the construction plans without insisting on the exemption certificate, thereby upholding the rights of the landowners.
