The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's ruling that the rejection of building plans by the New Delhi Municipal Council was illegal and without jurisdiction, thereby sanctioning the plans under Section 241(2) of the New Delhi Municipal Council Act, 1994. The Court emphasized that the plans must comply with the guidelines established for the Lutyens' Bungalow Zone to maintain its character. The outcome mandated the Municipal Council to return the plans with a 'sanctioned' endorsement, reinforcing the legal principle that administrative decisions must adhere to statutory provisions and established guidelines.
