Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the petitions filed under Article 136 challenging the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai's decision to demolish buildings constructed on Plot No. 9, Scheme 58, Worli, Mumbai. The Court held that the petitioners, who are members of Cooperative House Building Societies, failed to establish a legal right to restrain the Corporation from demolition, as the buildings were constructed in violation of sanctioned plans and despite a stop work notice. The Court emphasized that the Corporation acted in accordance with prior orders from various writ petitions, thereby upholding the legality of the demolition action.
