M.D.,CITY & INDS. DEVELOPMENT CORPN.&ANR vs EKTA MAHILA MANDAL

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, despite CIDCO's claim that the plot was designated as a green belt. The Court emphasized that the right to primary education is a fundamental right under Article 21A of the Constitution of India, necessitating the regularization of the plot for the benefit of children from lower income groups. The Court found that the existing conditions of the educational facility were inadequate and warranted intervention.
