MEERUT DEVT.AUTHORITY vs ASSOCIATION OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land allotment under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973, specifically Section 3, which empowers the Meerut Development Authority (MDA) to manage land use for urban development. The Court held that the MDA's decision to invite tenders for land designated for educational purposes must adhere to the reserved price set forth in the relevant government orders. The Court ruled that AMS's tender for land at a price below the reserved rate was not valid, thereby affirming the MDA's authority to enforce the pricing structure established for land allotment.
