Article 14 Arbitrariness | Refusal to Refund Unutilized FSI Premium Violates Constitutional Guarantee : SC

Supreme Court rules that denying refund of premium paid for unutilized Floor Space Index (FSI) is arbitrary and violates Article 14, directing refund of ₹27.41 lakh with 7% interest after deducting 10% administrative charges. The judgment reinforces that state actions under Development Control Regulations must align with constitutional guarantees of equality and non-arbitrariness, impacting property developers and urban planning authorities.
