https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172185 Statutory vesting of a public street in a municipality under the Uttar Pradesh Municipalities Act does not transfer absolute ownership of the soil; it gives only a statutory right to control, manage and maintain the street as a street. If the land is diverted to a use inconsistent with that character, the municipal interest in the street ends. The State therefore remains the owner and may assert title and seek eviction of an illegal occupier. The reported conclusion states that the State's title was not extinguished by municipal vesting and that the suit for eviction could be maintained. en-us Thu, 08 May 1980 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 15:33:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172185 Statutory vesting of a public street in a municipality under the Uttar Pradesh Municipalities Act does not transfer absolute ownership of the soil; it gives only a statutory right to control, manage and maintain the street as a street.
