Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals filed by the Government of NCT of Delhi and Delhi Transport Corporation against the High Court's order rejecting their application for extension of time to comply with the demolition of the Millennium Bus Depot, which was constructed on a river flood plain in violation of the Master Plan 2021. The Court emphasized that construction on such designated areas is impermissible under the Master Plan, thus upholding the High Court's directive for removal of the depot. The Court granted leave in both matters, reinforcing the legal principle that adherence to urban planning regulations is mandatory.
