Mahatma Gandhi Mission vs City & Industrial Development ...

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the cancellation of land allotment by CIDCO to Mahatma Gandhi Mission under the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act, 1966. The Court held that the trust was in lawful possession of the land allotted for housing purposes and emphasized the necessity of executing agreements for all land allotments. The Court ruled that CIDCO's cancellation of the allotment was unjustified and directed CIDCO to restore possession to the trust, thereby reinforcing the legal principle that possession cannot be disturbed without due process.
