Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the conflict between residential and commercial use of property under the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976, specifically Section 342. The Court held that the operation of a bhatti in a residential area could constitute a nuisance, thus justifying an injunction against the appellant. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, reinstating the Trial Court's injunction against the appellant's bakery operation, emphasizing the need to balance residential peace with commercial activities.
