    The Bombay High Court allowed the writ petition and declared that the land reservation on petitioner Darpan Narendra Thakur's property lapsed automatically under Section 127(1) of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, as the municipal corporation failed to acquire the land within the statutory 10-year period (lapsed on 9 February 2017). The court directed the State Government to formally notify this lapsing in the Official Gazette within 6 weeks, finding the respondents' conduct in ignoring the petitioner's 2018 notice and only belatedly offering alternative compensation to be dilatory and harassing. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
