Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation & Anr vs Ahmedabad Green Belt Khedut Mandal & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of Section 40(3)(jj) of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976, determining that it does not violate Articles 14, 19, and 300-A of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the provisions allow for the preparation of town planning schemes without compensation, which is permissible under the Act, thus rejecting the claim that such provisions are ultra vires. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that upheld the validity of the statutory provisions in question.
