M.C.Mehta vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court addressed the procedural requirements under Section 11A of the Delhi Development Act, 1957, emphasizing that the Central Government must provide a notice period of 15 days for public objections to amendments of the Master Plan for Delhi. The Court found that the reduction of the objection period from 90 days to 3 days, as per the Ministry's notification, was not in compliance with statutory requirements. Consequently, the Court held that the Central Government must adhere to the proper notice period to ensure public participation in the planning process.
