Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's decision 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 claim of having taken necessary steps. The Court held that the Corporation's resolution indicating it no longer required the land was valid, thus reversing the High Court's ruling.
