BAKHTAWAR TRUST vs M D NARAYAN

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of the Bangalore City Planning Area Zonal Regulations (Amendment & Validation) Act, 1996, under the Karnataka Town & Country Planning Act, 1965. The Court held that the builders' construction of an eight-storied building violated the Outline Development Plan and Zonal Regulations, which stipulated a maximum height of 55 feet, and thus upheld the High Court's decision to demolish the unauthorized floors. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to zoning regulations for urban planning.
