Srinivasan vs The Commissioner on 28 June, 2023
In L.LOGANATHAN Vs. THE
COMMISSIONER, UDHAGAMANDALAM
MUNICIPALITY, UDHAGAMANDALAM, NILGIRIS
(W.P.No.10262 of 2020), the learned Single Judge of
this Court extensively considered the Master Plan
and Development Control Rules applicable to the
Hill areas and also considering the Rule 7 (2) had
directed the authorities to grant permission and the
above order has also been complied. The above
judgment was passed on 04.09.2020. Despite this
Court interpreted and directed the authorities to
grant permission, the authorities simply rejected the
application citing Rule 7(2). Such act of the officials
is certainly take away the rights of the citizens to
have a decent living with dignity and to shelter and
also it violates fundamental rights.
