This Court held in that matter that it is will settled law that land sought to be acquired forone public purpose may be used for another public purpose. In State of Maharashtra v. Mahadeo Deoman Rai reported in MANU/SC/0471/1990 : 1990 (3) SCC 579 yet another Bench of three Judges had held that requirement of public purpose may change from time to time but the change will not vitiate the acquisition proceeding.
