Sulochana Chandrakant Galande – Appellant
Versus
Pune Municipal Transport – Respondent
Judgment :
Dr. B.S. CHAUHAN, J.
1. This appeal has been preferred against the Judgment and order of Bombay High Court dated 20th February, 2006, passed in Writ Petition No. 1018 of 1999, filed by the respondent herein setting aside the order passed by the State Government withdrawing the proceedings under the provisions of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (hereinafter called as, "Act, 1976").
2. Facts and circumstances giving rise to the present case are that the Act, 1976 was enacted to provide for imposition of a ceiling on vacant land in urban agglomerations for the acquisition of such land in excess of the ceiling limit, to regulate the construction of buildings on such land and for matters connected therewith. The said Act prescribed the maximum ceiling to which the land can be retained by the owner and determination of the surplus land and transfer thereof in favour of the State after drawing the final statement under Section 9 of the Act, 1976, and the State would acquire the vacant land in excess of the ceiling limit under Section 10 of the Act, 1976. The Act came into force on 17th February, 1976. On the said date, the suit land was not within urban limits,
Shanti Ganatantra Sanghati Mancha VS State of West Bengal - 2024 0 Supreme(Cal) 1280: Identified as bad law. Explicitly states: "Resultantly, the decision rendered in Pune Municipal Corpn. is hereby overruled and all other decisions in which Pune Municipal Corpn" – this snippet directly indicates that a decision (Pune Municipal Corpn.) referenced alongside Sulochana Chandrakant Galande v. Pune Municipal Transport (2010) 8 SCC 467 is overruled. While not explicitly overruling Galande itself, the close association and context suggest potential negative treatment or reliance on now-overruled authority.

Examples include Jt. Collector Ranga Reddy Dist. VS D. Narsing Rao - 2015 1 Supreme 298: "To the same effect is the view taken by this Court in Sulochana... where this Court reiterated the legal position"; MASS AWASH PRIVATE LIMITED VS COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX (INTERNATIONAL TAXATION) - 2017 0 Supreme(All) 786: "Court followed and reiterated the same in Sulochana..."; Ramcharan Singh VS State Of Madhya Pradesh - 2020 0 Supreme(MP) 650: "The decision in Sulochana... was later followed in Omprakash...".

Non-Sulochana cases (e.g., Govt. of A. P. VS N. Audikesava Reddy - 2001 8 Supreme 158, Ibrahimpatnam Taluk Vyavasaya Collie Sangham VS K. Suresh Reddy - 2003 6 Supreme 89, State of Karnataka VS S. M.

Padma VS Deputy Secretary To The Govt. Of T. N - 1997 1 Supreme 208): These appear as standalone summaries of holdings without negative treatment indicators; categorized here as they reflect established legal points likely cited positively elsewhere, though treatment is not explicitly shown in the list.
RAJENDRA VS STATE OF U. P. - 2011 0 Supreme(All) 2328: "We do not find any discussion of the judgment of Sulochana Chandrakant Galande (supra) in Devendra Kumar and others (supra)." – Indicates distinction or non-application in a parallel context, but not negative treatment.
None identified. All entries either clearly cite Sulochana approvingly, show one instance of distinction/non-discussion, or summarize other cases without treatment indicators. The single overruling reference in Shanti Ganatantra Sanghati Mancha VS State of West Bengal - 2024 0 Supreme(Cal) 1280 pertains to "Pune Municipal Corpn." (not Galande), but is elevated to bad_law due to contextual linkage.
