MADHYA PRADESH HOUSING AND INFRASTRUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT BOARD vs VIJAY BODANA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the approval of a modified layout plan under the Madhya Pradesh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam, 1973, emphasizing that such modifications must align with the original layout to prevent unplanned development. The Court reiterated the principle of promissory estoppel, stating that developers cannot alter land use to mislead allottees who paid premium prices for plots based on promised amenities. The ruling affirmed that the land must be used according to the original layout plan, thereby protecting the interests of the allottees.
