Satish Sabharwal & Ors. Etc. Vs. State of Maharashtra Etc.
As per case facts, petitioners sought to establish an abattoir and meat processing plant in a riot-prone area, obtaining various permissions including one from the District Collector for non-agricultural land
...use. However, local villagers raised strong objections citing concerns about river pollution from effluent discharge and hurt religious sentiments due to Ganesh idol immersion in the same river. Following these representations, the Government issued a show-cause notice and subsequently cancelled the land use permission granted by the Collector, leading the petitioners to appeal to the High Court, which upheld the Government's decision but directed compensation. The question arose whether the Government had the power to revise a Collector's suo motu order for land use permission and if its action in cancelling the permission was bona fide and in public interest, despite any delay in action. Finally, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment, confirming the Government's power to revise suo motu orders, finding its action bona fide and in public interest, and directing compensation for costs incurred by the petitioners, along with interest for the period after the show-cause notice was issued.
