The Crux
Planning law loses meaning if serious violations of sanctioned plans are routinely regularised after construction.
What the Court held
The Supreme Court dealt with unauthorised construction in Mumbai and reiterated that municipal authorities and courts cannot encourage violations of sanctioned plans through routine regularisation.
Why it matters
The case is especially relevant to property due diligence, redevelopment, purchaser risk and municipal enforcement in Mumbai.
CRUX practice note
