Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Municipal Corporation's order to demolish unauthorized construction was valid under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, specifically citing Section 53(1). The Court established that the rights of tenants do not supersede the statutory obligations of the Municipal Corporation to enforce building regulations. The appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, affirming the demolition order.
