Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's suit regarding land ownership under the Madhya Pradesh Public Premises and Devasthanam (Regulation) Act, specifically referencing Section 4(2). The Court established that the appellant's claim of ownership was undermined by the actions of the Municipal Corporation and the Collector, who had the authority to regulate public premises. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, concluding that the appellant's rights were not violated as the land was being used for public purposes.
