RAVINDRA RAMCHANDRA WAGHMARE vs INDORE MUN.CORP..

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Section 305 of the Madhya Pradesh Municipal Corporation Act, 1956, in relation to land acquisition for the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) in Bhopal. The Court held that the Municipal Corporation's action was impermissible under Section 305 and that the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 must be followed for land acquisition. Consequently, the Court upheld the Single Bench's decision to acquire land under the Act of 2013, reversing the High Court's order.
