Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's directive to the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to issue a possession certificate for 6 acres and 20 guntas of land as per its 1972 resolution, emphasizing the authority's obligation under the City of Bangalore Improvement Act, 1945. The Court clarified that the BDA must also allot alternative plots to those affected by the land acquisition, reinforcing the principle that statutory bodies must adhere to their resolutions and obligations. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
