DCPR 2034 Regulation 33(10) | Silence Beyond 60 Days Constitutes Deemed NOC for Slum Rehabilitation; Unreasoned Refusal Invalid : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that when a land-owning authority fails to respond to a NOC request within 60 days under DCPR 2034, approval is deemed granted - and any subsequent refusal without reasoned justification is arbitrary and unlawful. This sets a critical precedent for slum rehabilitation developers and housing societies facing bureaucratic delays in government approvals.
