Punjab Urban Planning & Dev. Auth. & Anr vs Daya Singh

The Supreme Court ruled that the Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority must adhere to the provisions of the Punjab Town Improvement Act, 1922, specifically Sections 3 and 4, which mandate the authority to prepare a development scheme before executing any development work. The Court established that failure to comply with statutory requirements renders the actions of the authority invalid. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision that the authority acted beyond its legal mandate.
