Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the action of using land without acquisition violates Article 300-A of the Constitution of India, which protects property rights. The Court emphasized that no authority can deprive a citizen of property without due process and proper acquisition. The Court ruled in favor of the first respondent, stating that the unauthorized use of the land by CIDCO was illegal and ordered compensation to be paid to the Trust.
