In Brief
This case concerned a dispute over planning permission charges between Chennai's development authority and a real estate developer. The developer sought permission to construct a multi-storey building but contested charges for premium Floor Space Index (FSI). The Supreme Court held that no developer can claim absolute rights to construct without considering public interest. The court upheld the authority's right to demand revised Premium FSI charges but set aside demands for Infrastructure and Amenities charges, partially allowing the authority's appeals.
