High Court Guidelines Combat Unauthorized Constructions

07 Feb 2024 CW Team

In a bid to tackle the rising menace of unauthorized constructions, the High Court has issued comprehensive guidelines that promise to bring a paradigm shift to the real estate sector. These guidelines, a result of meticulous legal scrutiny, aim to prevent the proliferation of illegal structures and ensure sustainable urban development.

The court's directive encompasses stringent measures against unauthorised constructions, outlining clear protocols for monitoring and compliance. With a focus on accountability, the guidelines also establish a framework for swift legal action against those violating the prescribed norms.

This development comes at a crucial juncture when urban areas grapple with haphazard growth and unregulated constructions, posing threats to public safety and environmental sustainability. The court's intervention is poised to instill a sense of responsibility among developers and authorities, fostering a more transparent and accountable real estate ecosystem.

Key elements of the guidelines include mandatory approvals, regular inspections, and severe penalties for non-compliance. These measures are expected to not only curb unauthorized constructions but also streamline the overall real estate approval process, promoting a healthier and more sustainable urban infrastructure.
