Ravindra Ramchandra Waghmare vs Indore Mun.Corp.& Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land acquisition under Section 305 of the Madhya Pradesh Municipal Corporation Act, 1956, in the context of the BRTS corridor project. The Court held that the Municipal Corporations were justified in their actions and that the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, were not applicable in this case. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, thereby allowing the Municipal Corporations to proceed with the acquisition as per the earlier development plans.
