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 governs land use changes. The ruling reinforced the principle that once land is reserved for a specific public purpose, such as education, it cannot be arbitrarily reallocated without due process.
