MYSORE URBAN DEV.AUTHORITY BY ITS COMM. vs VEER KUMAR JAIN .

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the withdrawal notification dated 22.7.2002 under Section 21 of the Karnataka General Clauses Act, which cancelled a prior notification under Section 48(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that once possession is taken and lands vest in the government, the landowners acquire a valuable right, and such rights cannot be revoked without a hearing. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the withdrawal was invalid due to lack of due process, affirming the necessity of hearing affected parties before such actions.
