https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173448 Sections 260(1)(a) and 478 of the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporation Act, 1949 were construed together to permit enforcement against unauthorised construction by the person who carried out the work and, where the statute so provides, the owner liable at the time of notice. The provisions were read purposively to ensure that municipal action to remove, alter or pull down unlawful building work does not fail merely because ownership changed after the infringement. The notice was therefore valid against the owner even though she was not shown to have personally erected the offending structure, and the appeal succeeded with the respondent's suit dismissed. en-us Tue, 05 Apr 1983 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 17:56:32 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173448 Sections 260(1)(a) and 478 of the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporation Act, 1949 were construed together to permit enforcement against unauthorised construction by the person who carried out the work and, where the statute so provides, the owner liable at the time of notice.
