Section 351 MMC Act | Documentary Evidence Overrides Photographic Assumption in Mezzanine Floor Disputes : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court ruled that municipal demolition orders based solely on photographic evidence cannot override documented proof of a pre-existing mezzanine floor. The judgment establishes that factual disputes over structural classification require full trial, protecting property owners from arbitrary enforcement under the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act and reinforcing procedural fairness in urban development cases.
