B.Krishna H.Sawant vs Sangli,Miraj&Kupwad; City M.Corp

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's order which upheld the reservation of land for a high school and playground under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. The Court found that the reservation had lapsed due to the State's failure to acquire the land within the statutory period, despite the Corporation's claims of necessary steps taken for acquisition. The Court held that the Corporation's subsequent resolution indicating lack of financial resources to construct the facilities further supported the lapse of reservation, thus ruling in favor of the appellants.
