The Madurai Corporation vs P. Kayalvizhi & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court allowing the writ petition under Article 226, affirming that the appellant Corporation was the competent authority to grant an extension for construction despite deviations from the original plan. The Court noted that the respondent had provided an undertaking to complete the construction in compliance with the conditions set forth by the Local Planning Authority. The appeal by the Corporation was dismissed, reinforcing the High Court's ruling that the extension of time was valid under the Madurai City Municipal Corporation Act, specifically Sections 282, 296(1), and 296(2).
