Section 127 MRTP Act | Land Reservation Lapses Automatically After 12-Year Inaction & Purchase Notice: Bombay HC (Aurangabad Bench)
Bombay High Court reaffirms that land reservations under Section 127 of the MRTP Act lapse by operation of law if authorities fail to acquire or develop the land within 12 years of a valid purchase notice. Landowners are entitled to de-reservation without being forced to accept Transferable Development Rights (TDR), protecting their property rights against administrative inaction.
