PUNE MUNICIPAL CORPN. THROUGH ITS COMMISSIONER vs MOTIBAGH COOP. HOUSING SOCIETY LTD. THROUGH ITS CHAIRMAN — C.A. No. 4589 - 4590/2008

Case Summary The Supreme Court allowed Pune Municipal Corporation's appeals, overturning the Bombay High Court's 2005 judgment that had invalidated the 1987 government notification changing land designation from "parking" to "bus depot." The Court held that changing public purpose between two similar infrastructural uses did not constitute "substantial modification" requiring fresh public objections under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, and therefore the land acquisition for the bus depot could proceed.
