Case Note & Summary
The dispute involved the relocation of the cattle market from Goregaon to a permanent site at Palghar, as directed by the State Government. The Mumbai Cattle Traders Association sought clarity on the government's commitment to provide adequate infrastructure for the new site. An affidavit was filed by the Cattle Controller, indicating that five acres of land at Palghar would be allocated for the cattle market, with the State Government approving funds of Rs. 50 lacs for infrastructure development. The State's counsel assured that the land would be acquired and infrastructure established within six months. The Supreme Court, considering the government's commitment and the affidavit, concluded that no further directions were necessary and disposed of the appeal and applications without costs.
