MADAN PARMALIYA vs STATE OF M.P. . — C.A. No. 2163/2009

Summary of C.A. No. 002163/2009 (Madan Parmaliya v. State of M.P.) The Supreme Court dismissed Madan Parmaliya's civil appeal challenging the constitutional validity of sections 14, 15, 17A, 18, and 23A of the Madhya Pradesh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam, 1973. The Court found the writ petition was misconceived as public interest litigation since the appellant failed to establish standing as a social worker and had not previously objected to the Master Plan for Indore, thereby lacking locus standi. The Court approved the High Court's decision upholding the constitutionality of the challenged provisions. The appellant was ordered to pay Rs. 1,00,000 in costs (Rs. 50,000 to Supreme Court Legal Services Committee and Rs. 50,000 to Madhya Pradesh State Legal Services Authority within three months).
