MULCHAND BAKHRU vs T.N. VAIDYA

The Supreme Court reviewed its earlier judgment in Civil Appeal No. 10747 of 2013, which upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision that Civic Amenity Site No. 2 could only be used for a bank as per Section 38A of the Bangalore Development Authority Act, 1976. The Court found factual errors in the High Court's ruling regarding the site's earmarking, leading to the conclusion that the allotment to Bharat Petroleum Corporation for a petrol pump was invalid. The review petitions were allowed, and the earlier judgment was recalled, emphasizing the need for accurate interpretation of land use designations under the Act.
