Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the violation of the Master Plan for Salt Lake City, established under the West Bengal Government Township (Extension of Civic Amenities) Act, 1975. The Court held that the State's actions, including the unlawful creation of a discretionary quota and clandestine plot distributions, contravened the statutory framework and the original Master Plan. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the Master Plan and the need for transparency in the distribution of civic amenities, ultimately ruling against the amendments that validated illegal allotments.
