Mysore Urban Dev.Authority By Its Comm vs Veer Kumar Jain & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the withdrawal notification dated 22.7.2002 under Section 21 of the Karnataka General Clauses Act, which rescinded an earlier notification under Section 48(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that a notification under Section 48(1) creates a valuable right for landowners, and thus, cannot be withdrawn without a hearing. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the withdrawal notification, emphasizing the necessity of hearing affected parties before such actions are taken.
