P. NAVIN KUMAR vs BOMBAY MUN. CORPN.

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision that the construction of a new toilet block near the Gateway of India by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay was valid, citing Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court noted that the High Court found the facility necessary to prevent public nuisance and that the resolution for construction was passed in 1991, with the writ petition filed only in 1992. The petitioners subsequently abandoned their challenge to the construction, leading the Supreme Court to conclude that there was no need to address the High Court's observations further.
