Pt.Chet Ram Vashist vs Municipal Corporation Of Delhi on 26 October, 1994

The Apex Court makes it clear that reserving any site for any street, open space, park, school etc. in a layout plan is normally a public purpose as it is inherent in such reservation that it shall be used by the public in general. The effect of such reservation is that the owner ceases to be a legal owner of the land in question and he holds the land for the benefit of the society or the public in general. (Vide: "Pt.Chet Ram Vashist (dead) by L.Rs v. Municipal Corporation of Delhi8") In view of the judgment of the Apex Court, the State Government cannot have any jurisdiction to alter the character of the land reserved for public purpose.
