THE STATE OF BOMBAY vs PANDURANG VINAYAK CHAPHALKAR AND OTHERS.

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 15(1) of the Bombay Building (Control on Erection) Act, 1948, and Section 25 of the Bombay General Clauses Act, 1904, to determine that a notification issued under the repealed Ordinance continued in force under the Act. The Court held that the provisions of the Act were validly extended to Ratnagiri, thereby requiring permission for the erection of buildings intended for cinemas. The judgment of the Bombay High Court was reversed, affirming the necessity of compliance with the Act's provisions for construction permits.
