Procedural Fairness | Demolition Notice Invalidated by Mismatched CTS Number Under Natural Justice : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court stayed a demolition order after finding the municipal notice cited an entirely wrong CTS number, holding that such a fundamental procedural error nullifies coercive action even when the structure may be unauthorized. This reinforces that administrative bodies cannot bypass audi alteram partem by relying on clerical inaccuracies in property identification, protecting property owners from arbitrary enforcement.
