Section 295(3) Municipal Corporation Act | Silence Beyond 30 Days Constitutes Deemed Sanction for Construction : MP HC

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that if a municipal corporation fails to reject a building plan application within 30 days, the approval is deemed granted under Section 295(3). This protects property owners from arbitrary demolition orders and imposes a clear duty on civic bodies to act promptly, reinforcing administrative accountability in urban development.
