PRAFULLA C.DAVE vs MUNICIPAL COMMRS..

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, specifically whether the development plan first prepared under Section 21 is the final plan, with subsequent revisions under Section 38 being merely amendments. The Court held that the initial plan notified under Section 21 constitutes the final development plan, and any notice under Section 127(2) must be based on this original plan, not on any revisions. This ruling clarifies the procedural requirements for development planning under the MRTP Act.
