Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the unauthorized change of land use from residential to commercial at premises No. 4H, Panchanantala Road, Calcutta, without obtaining necessary sanctions as required under the Calcutta Municipal Corporation Act. The Court emphasized that such unauthorized use not only violates statutory provisions but also undermines urban planning regulations. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's order to cease commercial activities at the premises.
