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 to belong to the PWD under the Road Transport Act, 1951. The Court upheld the lower court's finding that the appellant lacked title to the land, as evidenced by the Secretary's admission of no title documents and the requirement that constructions be beyond 50 feet from the road center. The Court affirmed the mandatory injunction for demolition of the shops, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining public safety and adherence to land use regulations.
