Suresh Estates Pvt. Ltd. & Ors vs Municipal Corp. Of Greater Mumbai & Ors

The Supreme Court ruled that the application for development permission under Section 45(5) of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, was rightly denied by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai. The Court held that the lapse of reservations on the plot did not automatically grant the appellants the right to additional Floor Space Index (FSI) beyond what was permissible under the Development Control Rules, 1967. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to refuse the appellants' requests for development permission.
