The Supreme Court addressed the validity of Town Planning Scheme No. 14 under the Madhya Pradesh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam, 1973, specifically Sections 50 and 56. The Court held that the Scheme lapsed due to non-compliance with statutory requirements, as the appellant failed to prove proper publication and approval of the draft scheme. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decree for declaration and injunction in favor of the respondents.
