As per the case facts, the appellant challenged the refusal of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation to sanction a revised building plan for a residential building and sought to set
...aside certain rules. The High Court dismissed the appellant's writ petition but allowed them to apply for regularization. The appeal to the Supreme Court aimed to overturn the refusal and seek directions to amend the rules. The question arose whether the revised building plan for a residential building, which is not a high-rise, was wrongly rejected based on rules not applicable to it, and if the Fire Service Authorities' clearance could be withheld on such grounds. Finally, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal to the extent indicated, setting aside and quashing the impugned order that rejected the Revised Building Plan. The Court directed the SDMC to consider the application afresh, clarifying that objections should not be raised solely on the ground of non-compliance with rules inapplicable to a non-high-rise residential building. It also stated that if no views are expressed by the Fire Service Authority within the stipulated time, clearance would be deemed granted.
