National Building Construction ... vs Khosmendir Singh Gahunia And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the closure of Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali Marg, which residents claimed was a public road under the NDMC Act, 1994. The Court emphasized that the definition of 'public street' under Section 2(39) of the NDMC Act must be adhered to, and that the actions of the National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) in blocking the road were contrary to law. The Court upheld the High Court's order for the NBCC to maintain the road and prevent its closure, thereby affirming the residents' right to access public amenities.
