Dipak Babaria & Anr vs State Of Gujarat & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Gujarat High Court's dismissal of Writ Petition (PIL) No.44 of 2012, which challenged the Collector's permission to sell agricultural land under the Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1958. The Court found that the petitioners failed to demonstrate a bona fide industrial purpose for the land sale as required by Section 89A of the Act. Additionally, the Court noted the delay in filing the PIL and the suppression of material facts by the petitioners, affirming the High Court's decision as justified.
