Mandal Panchayath Hunsagi vs North Eastern K.R.T.C

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute between a Mandal Panchayat and a Corporation regarding the legality of shops constructed on land claimed by the PWD under the Road Transport Act, 1951. The Court upheld the lower court's finding that the Panchayat lacked title to the land, as evidenced by the Secretary's admission of no ownership documents and the requirement that constructions be beyond 50 feet from the road center. The Court affirmed the lower court's decree for mandatory and perpetual injunctions against the Panchayat's construction, emphasizing the need for adherence to statutory land use regulations.
