The petitioners state that these lands were earmarked by the respondents for the establishment of an educational institution under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act, the scheme was prepared in the year 1978. Since the consequential acquisition under Section 37 of the Town and Country Planning Act had not been adhered to, the petitioner state that the reservation has lapsed by virtue of Section 38 of Town and Country Planning Act. As the respondents continue to stick to a stand that the property has been earmarked under the “Pollachi Master Plan”, the petitioners are before this Court seeking for a declaration that the reservation has lapsed.
