Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Madhya Pradesh High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the change of land-use from 'commercial' to 'regional park' under the town planning scheme, affirming the State Government's decision to invite fresh tenders for the land. The Court emphasized that the appellants, having previously been granted a license for an amusement park, could not claim a vested right to the land-use designation. The judgment reinforces the principle that land-use changes by authorities are within their statutory powers under relevant town planning laws.
