LAW FOR ALL

the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) had come into force on 20th of December, 1966. It is well settled that the user of the land is to be decided by the authority empowered to take such a decision and this Court in exercise of its power of judicial review would not interfere with the same unless the change in the user is found to be arbitrary. The process involves consideration of competing claims and requirements of the inhabitants in present and future so as to make their lives happy, healthy and comfortable.
