10 Jul 2024 CW Team

The Bombay High Court has declined to grant relief to 41 buildings in Vasai facing demolition due to violations of construction norms and alleged encroachments. The court's decision affirms the Municipal Corporation's stance on enforcing demolition orders against these structures deemed unauthorised or non-compliant with building regulations.

The buildings in question, located in Vasai's jurisdiction, had been issued notices by the Municipal Corporation for violations ranging from unauthorised construction, encroachments on public land, to non-compliance with safety and structural standards. Despite legal challenges and petitions filed by affected residents, the High Court upheld the municipal authority's decision to proceed with demolishing these structures.

The court's ruling underscores the importance of adherence to building regulations and municipal laws to maintain urban planning integrity and public safety. It also reflects the judicial scrutiny applied to cases involving alleged violations of construction norms and encroachments on public spaces.

Local authorities have been directed to ensure the implementation of demolition orders in accordance with the court's decision, prioritising compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks governing urban development in Vasai. The affected residents and stakeholders are urged to cooperate with municipal authorities to facilitate the orderly execution of demolition procedures.

The Bombay High Court's verdict serves as a reminder to builders and property owners regarding the consequences of flouting building regulations and encroaching on public land, emphasising the need for strict adherence to legal norms to prevent unauthorised constructions and maintain urban infrastructure standards.
