Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Municipal Corporation's approval for converting residential flats into a Surgical Nursing Home violated the sanctioned building plan, which designated the upper floors for residential use only. The Court emphasized that such a conversion not only contravenes the approved plan but also poses health risks to residents, thereby upholding the Executive Engineer's rejection of the application for change of user. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's judgment, affirming the need for adherence to municipal regulations.
