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.
