City And Industrial Development ... vs Ekta Mahila Mandal & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's order directing the City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO) to consider the regularization of a plot of land for educational purposes, emphasizing that the plot's designation as a green belt was not substantiated by its actual use. The Court noted that Article 21A of the Constitution guarantees the right to primary education, thus necessitating the allocation of land for educational facilities. The Court concluded that the CIDCO's refusal to regularize the plot was unjustified and ordered compliance with the High Court's directive.
