Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that the allotment of land to the Kushabhau Thakre Memorial Trust without public advertisement violated Article 14 of the Constitution, which mandates equality before the law. The Court held that the Madhya Pradesh Government's decision to modify the Bhopal Development Plan and change land use was ultra vires Section 23A of the Madhya Pradesh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam, 1973, as it did not follow due process. Consequently, the appeal against the Madhya Pradesh High Court's dismissal of the Writ Petition was upheld, reinforcing the need for transparency in government land allotments.
