Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the High Court's reliance on the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 in granting relief to City Montessori School after rejecting a mandamus to the Lucknow Development Authority regarding plot No.92A/C. The Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the actions of the LDA and Nazul Officer, emphasizing the need for adherence to statutory provisions and proper procedure in land allocation. The appeals were allowed, reinstating the authority's actions and clarifying the legal framework governing such disputes.
