Best Workers Union vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of an amendment to regulation 9 of the Development Control Regulations for Greater Bombay, 1991, made under Section 37(2) of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. The Court held that the petitioner, a trade union representing BEST workers, was a 'person affected' and entitled to personal notice and a hearing, which was not provided, rendering the amendment illegal. Furthermore, the Court found that the development agreement with respondent No. 7 violated the stipulated commercial user limits, leading to the conclusion that the agreement was invalid.
