Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's order dated 3rd July 2019, which quashed the proposal for constructing a new primary school on land approved by the Land Management Committee and the State authorities. The Court held that the High Court erred in entertaining the writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, as the dispute pertained to landed property and should have been resolved through civil litigation. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, reinstating the approval for the school construction.
