Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of plot allotments in Navi Mumbai by CIDCO, emphasizing compliance with the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. The Court held that the allotment process violated existing regulations, as plots intended for co-operative housing societies were improperly allocated to builders through dummy societies, leading to wrongful gains and losses to CIDCO. The Court ruled in favor of the Public Concern for Governance Trust, thereby upholding the principles of transparency and fairness in public allotments.
