Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of Section 40(3)(jj) of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976, ruling that it is not ultra vires Articles 14, 19, and 300-A of the Constitution of India. The Court upheld the applicability of this section to land not covered by Section 20(2) of the Act, affirming the High Court's partial allowance of the writ petitions. The appeals by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, the State of Gujarat, and the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority were dismissed, maintaining the High Court's decision.
