Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of unauthorized structures in the Moonim Compound, governed by the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, specifically Section 351. The Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to vacate the temporary injunction against the Corporation's demolition orders, establishing that the assignment of tenancy rights does not confer legitimacy to unauthorized constructions. The Court ruled in favor of the Corporation, allowing the removal of the illegal structures.
