Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of unauthorized construction by M/s. Priyanka Estates International (P) Ltd. beyond the sanctioned height under the Guwahati Municipal Corporation Act, 1971. The Court held that the rejection of construction permission by GMC was justified due to violations of maximum allowable height and floor area ratio (FAR) as per Section 438 of the Act. Consequently, the Court upheld the demolition order issued by the Gauhati High Court, affirming that adherence to municipal regulations is paramount.
