THE MADURAI CORPORATION vs P. KAYALVIZHI & ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court allowing the writ petition under Article 226, which directed the Madurai Corporation to grant renewal of permission for construction. The Court found that the Corporation was competent to extend the time for completion of the building despite the initial sanction being granted under the Town and Country Planning Act. The Court emphasized that the respondent's undertaking to comply with the construction conditions was valid and binding, thus affirming the High Court's order to allow the completion of construction within a stipulated time frame.
