Amit R. Goenka & Ors vs Pandurang Patil and Ors. Etc. Etc

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

The appellants sought permission to construct on their Mumbai property despite a High Court order suspending construction approvals due to the Municipal Corporation's inadequate waste disposal facilities. The Supreme Court allowed their appeal, permitting construction to proceed on their approved plan, subject to strict conditions: waste and debris must remain on-site and not be removed, the Municipal Corporation retains inspection rights, and construction rights will be forfeited if conditions are violated. This decision balances environmental concerns with property owners' fundamental right to develop their own land."
