Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to quash the notification dated 24th April 1992, which had altered the reservation of land for a school and cultural center. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, particularly Section 37(2), which allows for changes in land use under specific conditions. The ruling reinforced the principle that once a reservation is made for a public purpose, it cannot be unilaterally revoked without due process and justification.
