GODREJ & BOYCE MFTG. CO. LTD. vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA .

The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 127 of the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act (MRTP Act), if the State Government fails to acquire reserved land within ten years, the reservation is deemed to be released. The Court held that the notification issued by the Urban Development Department on 5.8.2008, which modified the Development Plan to delete the railway reservation, was valid as the appellant's land was deemed released due to the inaction of the Ministry of Railways. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
