PUNE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION vs PROMOTERS & BUILDERS ASSON.

The Supreme Court examined the legality of amendments to the Development Control Rules (DCR) sanctioned by the Maharashtra State Government under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. The Court held that the State Government exceeded its authority under Section 37(2) of the Act by adding conditions not included in the original proposal submitted by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the State Government must adhere to the modifications proposed by the Planning Authority without unauthorized alterations, thereby reinforcing the principle of promissory estoppel in planning law.
