Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision clarifying that the Municipal Corporation's Commissioner has the authority to consider compounding illegal constructions before ordering demolition, as per the observations made by the Division Bench. The Court emphasized that the compounding of unauthorized construction is subject to legal limits and must be verified through a joint inspection. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's interpretation without finding merit in the arguments presented.
