Bombay Dyeing & Mfg. Co. Ltd vs Bombay Environmental Action Group & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the intersection of environmental concerns and building regulations under the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (SICA) and the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MRTP Act). The Court held that the Development Control Regulation No. 58 (DCR 58) was valid as it aimed to improve urban living conditions and protect the environment amidst the closure of cotton textile mills. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the writ petition's focus on ensuring open spaces and public housing in Mumbai.
