N. Nanalal Kiklawala And Anr vs State Of Gujarat And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's decision in the Letters Patent Appeal concerning the implementation of a Town Planning Scheme under the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976. The Court clarified that the Nagarpalika's application for variation of the scheme under Section 71 of the Act did not negate the obligation to implement the sanctioned scheme. The Court held that the directions given by the learned Single Judge for timely execution of the scheme were valid and enforceable, thus affirming the need for adherence to statutory timelines.
