Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Additional District & Sessions Judge's ruling in favor of the plaintiffs under the Punjab Municipal Act, 1911, specifically Section 192(2). The Court established that once a Town Planning Scheme is sanctioned and developed, the land designated for public use, such as parks, cannot be claimed by private individuals. The Court held that the Municipal Corporation had the right to develop the land as a park, dismissing the plaintiffs' claims of possession and asserting the finality of the Town Planning Scheme.
