Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the amendment to the Master Plan of Delhi, specifically the Notification dated 20.9.1995, which allowed the use of land earmarked for Nursery Schools for other purposes. The Court held that the amendment was ultra vires the Delhi Development Authority Act, 1957, as it violated the statutory provisions intended to protect designated educational sites. Consequently, the Court quashed the allotment of land to Kala Ashram, ruling that it was arbitrary and unconstitutional.
