M/S PARAG CONSTRUCTION vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA .

The Supreme Court overturned the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the Writ Petition challenging the acquisition of land under the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act, 1966. The Court held that the petitioners had a legitimate claim to the land based on their purchase under a court-issued certificate of sale, and that the acquisition process lacked proper adherence to statutory requirements. Consequently, the Court quashed the acquisition proceedings and directed the authorities to reconsider the matter in light of the established legal principles under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
