Chandrakant Adinath Utture vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under the Maharashtra Project Affected Persons Rehabilitation Act, 1986, a public notice is required when there is a change in the slab affecting land acquisition, as per Section 13(2). The Court found that the High Court's interpretation, which stated that no notice was necessary for changes in the slab, was incorrect. The judgment clarified that affected persons must be notified of any changes that impact their land rights, thereby ensuring compliance with the statutory requirements of the Act.
