Kripa Mangal Karyalaya & Ors vs Nagpur Municipal Corporation & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the building permits granted by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation to Gorakshan Sabha were unauthorized under the Nagpur Improvement Trust Act, 1936 and the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. The Court affirmed that structures built under these permits are liable for demolition if they do not conform to the revised sanctioned development plan of 2000-2001. The Court mandated that fresh applications for building permits must be made in accordance with the new plan, which the Planning Authority must process within a specified timeframe.
