Municipal Corpn, Ludhiana vs Inderjit Singh & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of demolition orders under Section 269 and 270 of the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976, emphasizing the necessity of proper service of notices before such actions can be taken. The Court held that the failure to serve the initial notices invalidated the subsequent demolition order, thereby reinforcing the principle of natural justice. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition and reinstating the injunction against demolition.
