THE PRINTERS (MYSORE) LTD. vs M.A.RASHEED

The Supreme Court examined the validity of a sale deed executed by the Bangalore Development Authority in favor of the appellant, which was challenged in a public interest litigation. The Court held that the allotment was not contrary to the provisions of the Bangalore Development Authority Act, specifically Section 38, which grants the Authority the power to lease or sell land. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, affirming that the establishment of an industry contributes to the development of the metropolitan area and is thus permissible under the Act.
