Court: Bombay High Court
Citation: 2025:BHC-AS:28759
Decision Date: 02-07-2025
List of Laws
Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporations Act, 1949; Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966
- Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporations Act, 1949: The judgment discusses Section 487 of the Act, regarding the maintainability of the suit due to lack of notice. The court held that the notice under Section 487 was deemed waived because the Corporation's notice dated 5th June, 1996, directed the Appellants to remove construction within four days, making it urgent and negating the necessity of a statutory notice. The judgment also discusses Sections 260(i) and 260(ii) of the Act, concerning whether the notices issued by the Corporation treating the shed as new construction were legal and proper. The court ultimately favored the Appellants, implying the notices were not proper in the given circumstances.
- Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966: The judgment refers to Section 43 of the Act. The Appellants argued that no permission was required under Section 43, while the Respondent-Corporation argued that permission was required even for repairs under the same section. The court noted that the Pune Municipal Corporation had no conclusive record regarding the alleged new construction.
