Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai's (MCGM) compliance with Development Control Regulations (DCR) 27 and 58, emphasizing that MCGM was not required to provide additional public amenities as the plot area was less than 2 hectares. The Court held that the High Court's findings regarding MCGM's failure to ensure public housing and open spaces were unfounded, as the statutory requirements for land surrender were not violated at the time of issuing commencement certificates. The appeal was allowed, affirming MCGM's actions were in accordance with the law.
