The appellant challenged construction of group housing society on land originally owned by Ministry of Defence, claiming violation of MPD 2021. The SC held that while liberal approach is taken for condonation of delay, routine explanations are insufficient for such inordinate delay. The appellant's explanations regarding Vice Chancellor's retirement and Executive Council deliberations were unconvincing.
