Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the petitions under Article 136 challenging the Bombay High Court's judgment which upheld the dismissal of the petitioner's suit against the Bombay Municipal Corporation regarding unauthorized construction. The Court noted that the petitioner failed to provide evidence proving the legality of the construction prior to the datum line of 1st April 1962, as required under Section 354-A and Section 351 of the Bombay Municipal Corporation Act. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, holding that the notices issued by the Corporation were valid and justified under the Act.
