Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dismiss the appellants' challenge against the cancellation of their Transferable Development Rights (TDR) Certificate by the Maharashtra Chief Minister. The court found that the land in question was reserved for public purposes under the Development Plan, and the reduction of the TDR from 100% to 4% FSI was justified under the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the authority's actions regarding land use and development rights.
