Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai's (MCGM) compliance with Development Control Regulations (DCR) 27 and 58, holding that MCGM was not required to provide additional public amenities as the plot area was less than 2 hectares. The Court noted that the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) notification requirements must be complied with, but no prejudice was caused as completion or occupation certificates had not been issued. The Court upheld that the MCGM's actions were in accordance with statutory requirements and that the High Court's findings regarding public housing and land surrender were not substantiated.
