In Brief
The appellants sought permission to construct on their own property (CTS No. 650, Juhu, Mumbai) under a sanctioned building plan, but the Bombay High Court had restrained all new construction due to the Municipal Corporation's inadequate waste disposal facilities. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, permitting construction subject to strict conditions: the appellants must not remove any debris, garbage, or waste from the site, must keep the property open for inspection by municipal officials, and face forfeiture of construction rights for any violation. This balanced the owners' property rights against the public interest in waste management.
