Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) Welfare Asson vs Central Valuation Board & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the West Bengal Central Valuation Board (Amendment) Act, 1994, which amended provisions related to the publication of draft valuation lists and the hearing of objections, arguing it violated Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court held that the amendments did not completely eliminate the principles of natural justice, and thus, the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was upheld. The Court emphasized that procedural fairness must be maintained in administrative actions affecting citizens' rights.
