The Printers (Mysore) Ltd vs M.A. Rasheed & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of a sale deed executed by the Bangalore Development Authority in favor of the appellant, rejecting the High Court's ruling that the allotment was illegal due to lack of public auction or tender as required under the Bangalore Development Authority Act, particularly Section 38. The Court established that the Authority had the power to transfer land for industrial development, which is consistent with the objectives of urban development. The appeal was allowed, affirming the legality of the land transfer for the purpose of establishing a newspaper printing industry.
