Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the applicability of the Tamil Nadu Act No. 30 of 1991, which pertains to the regularization of unauthorized constructions. The Court held that the provisions of the Act must be interpreted in a manner that balances the rights of property owners with the need for urban planning and public safety. The appeals were allowed in part, with directions for the State to consider regularization applications in accordance with the Act, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations.
