Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a notice issued by the Maharashtra Heritage Conservation Committee (MHCC) for the removal of hoardings in a purported Heritage Precinct. The Court held that the appellant's hoarding was not situated in a designated Heritage Precinct as per the Urban Development Department's Resolution dated 24th April, 1995. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition and ruled in favor of the appellant, allowing the hoarding to remain until proper procedures for designation were followed.
