Bangalore Development Authority vs The State Of Karnataka

The Supreme Court ruled that the Bangalore Development Authority's actions regarding land acquisition must comply with the provisions of the Karnataka Urban Development Authorities Act, 1987, specifically Sections 14 and 15, which mandate proper procedure for land acquisition and compensation. The Court emphasized that failure to adhere to these statutory requirements renders the acquisition invalid. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision that the acquisition was unlawful due to procedural lapses.
