A. Abdul Farook vs Municipal Council, Perambalur & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 26 of the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001, concerning the issuance of No Objection Certificates for erecting arches on state highways. The Court held that the District Collector's authority to grant permission is contingent upon receiving satisfactory reports from relevant authorities, which was duly followed in this case. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the No Objection Certificate was valid and did not impede traffic.
