R & M TRUST vs KORAMANGALA RESI.VIGILANCE GROUP

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of building licenses issued for multi-storeyed constructions in Bangalore under the City of Bangalore Improvement Act, 1945 and the Bangalore Development Authority Act, 1976. The Court held that the licenses were issued in violation of statutory provisions, emphasizing that the Corporation lacked the authority to grant such licenses contrary to the established law. Consequently, the Court quashed the licenses and directed the demolition of the unauthorized constructions, reinforcing the principle that public interest must prevail over private development interests.
