BINABAI BHATE vs STATE OF M.P..

The Supreme Court held that the Madhya Pradesh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam, 1973 does not allow for a review of the committee's resolution once it has been accepted, and the State Government's action to include the appellant's land in the development plan without a hearing violated principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that the acquisition was not for a public purpose and was a colorable exercise of power. The appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's dismissal and reinstating the committee's resolution favoring the appellant.
