STATE OF MAHARASHTRA vs PUBLIC CONCERN FOR GOVRNCE. TRUST .

The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court's remarks regarding the Chief Minister's endorsement of applications for land allotment by CIDCO were unwarranted and based on factual errors. The Court emphasized that the Chief Minister's role was limited to noting 'please put up' on five applications, with no further directives issued. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal, expunging the High Court's remarks to protect the integrity of the Chief Minister's office, thereby upholding the legality of the land allotments made by CIDCO under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966.
