Revocation of Building Permission obtained by fraud
The respondent no.1 Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation has cancelled the development permission under Section 51 of the MRTP Act on the ground that it was obtained by misleading them and the subject property was affected by DP roads.
The Municipal Authorities are the guardians of the City and its planned development. The Municipal Commissioner heading these Corporations owe a duty to the citizens and the State for the planned development and consequently removal of all unauthorized or illegal constructions. The State owes the citizens, a strict, stern and appropriate action against all the erring or delinquent Officers who have polluted the entire system. Their removal is imperative. The system has to be cleansed.
The illegality has been nipped in the bud. The Commissioner UMC, has taken appropriate action against the erring officer, particularly since the entire construction is illegal.
The Court must play its role in uprooting such illegalities. Following the principles of law laid down in UP Avas Nigam (supra) and Kaniz Ahmed (supra), we see no reason to accede to the request made by the Petitioners Advocate. The request is accordingly rejected.
