PRAGATI MAHILA MANDAL, NANDED vs MUNICIPAL COUNCIL, NANDED .

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the allotment of land to Pragati Mahila Mandal under Section 92 of the Maharashtra Municipal Councils, Nagar Panchayats and Industrial Townships Act, 1965. The Court held that the allotment was illegal and void ab initio due to lack of prior sanction from the State Government, as required by the statute. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's order to quash the allotment and directed the Municipal Council to take possession of the plot within eight weeks.
