BALAKRISHNA H.SAWANT vs SANGLI,MIRAJ &KUPWAD CITY M.CORPN..

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, and the subsequent resolution by the Municipal Corporation indicating a lack of financial resources to proceed with the project further supported the appellant's claim. Consequently, the Court ruled in favor of the appellant, overturning the High Court's order.
