K.B. Ramachandra Raj Urs(D) By Lrs vs State Of Karnataka & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land acquisition under the City of Mysore Improvement Act, 1903, specifically Sections 16(1) and 18(1) and (2). The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the acquisition was illegal but refused to quash the notifications due to the long passage of time, while directing the allotment of land to the Mysore Urban Development Authority. The Court also ruled that the MUDA lacked authority to regularize unauthorized constructions under the Karnataka (Regularization of Unauthorised Constructions in Urban Areas) Act, 1991.
