Joydeep Mukharjee vs State Of West Bengal & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the violations of the Master Plan of Salt Lake City, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the West Bengal Government Township (Extension of Civic Amenities) Act, 1975, particularly Section 2(b) which outlines civic amenities. The Court held that deviations from the Master Plan and the unlawful creation of a Chief Minister's discretionary quota undermined the statutory framework established for the township's development. The Court directed that the issues raised in Writ Petition No. 7553 require urgent consideration due to their significance in maintaining the integrity of urban planning.
