#zoning regulations

The Karnataka High Court ruled that a developer who voluntarily surrendered land for a master plan road in exchange for additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR) cannot later challenge the relinquishment deed. The court applied the doctrine of approbate and reprobate, holding that accepting benefits estops the developer from adopting inconsistent positions, ensuring legal consistency in urban planning agreements.

Madras High Court directs Directorate of Town and Country Planning to decide on re-zoning petition within four months, maintaining status quo for petitioner's construction pending final order.
