Vimal Babu Dhumadiya vs The State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court examined whether the judgment was passed without hearing necessary parties, and whether the petitioners' apartments on government land could be regularized.

The judgment underscores procedural fairness in property and land disputes under Article 32 of the Constitution.
