Janhit Manch vs Urban Development Department

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of concessions granted for development in Mumbai, specifically regarding Floor Space Index (FSI) and refuge areas. The Court held that the Municipal Commissioner must adhere to the National Building Code, 2005, limiting refuge areas to 4% of the built-up area, with excess areas counted towards FSI. The judgment emphasized the need for compliance with statutory norms in urban development, thereby upholding the Bombay High Court's directive for re-examination of excess refuge areas.
