Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether landowners can demand acquisition under Chapter VII of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MRTP Act) after a Town Planning Scheme is finalized and plots are reserved for public purposes under Chapter V. The Court held that once the final scheme is in place and compensation is provided as per Chapter V, landowners cannot insist on acquisition under Chapter VII, specifically Section 126 of the MRTP Act. The ruling clarifies the procedural framework for land acquisition under the MRTP Act, affirming the validity of the compensation awarded.
