Indian City Properties Ltd. & Anr vs The Municipal Commissioner Of Greater ...

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 299 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, regarding the acquisition of land not occupied by a building. The Court held that if the land is occupied by a building, it falls outside the scope of Section 299, while land with external structures may be subject to acquisition. The Court upheld the High Court's order for a site inspection to determine the status of the structures on the property, thereby affirming the procedural correctness of the municipal authority's actions.
