M.P. Housing Board vs Satish Kumar Batra

The Supreme Court overturned the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision that granted relief to the respondents based on a previous case involving a similarly situated individual. The court clarified that the respondents, who purchased land subject to a notification under the Land Acquisition Act, were not entitled to the same relief as granted to Gajanand Mali, emphasizing the need for a distinct legal basis for claims in land acquisition matters. The appeal by the M.P. Housing Board was thus allowed, reinstating the Single Judge's order.
