Commissioner,Bangalore Development ... vs K.S. Narayan

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning property disputes involving the Bangalore Development Authority and private individuals claiming ownership. The Court emphasized that under the Land Acquisition Act, if no acquisition proceedings were properly followed, the authority could not dispossess the rightful owner. The Court held that the plaintiffs had established their title and possession, thus upholding the lower court's decree for permanent injunction against the Bangalore Development Authority's interference. The judgment reinforced the necessity of following due process in land acquisition under Sections 30 and 31(2) of the Land Acquisition Act.
