https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=769613 Residential demolition under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and Development Act was found unlawful because proper service of the show-cause notice and demolition order was not effected and a reasonable opportunity to respond was denied. The record showed inadequate attempts at personal service, improper resort to affixation, and failure to use registered post correctly for the initial notice and order. Because the communication reached the occupants only shortly before demolition, the statutory appeal remedy was effectively defeated. The action was therefore contrary to due process, the principles of natural justice, and the constitutional right to shelter under Article 21, with relief and costs awarded. en-us Tue, 01 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 29 Apr 2025 08:33:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=769613 Residential demolition under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and Development Act was found unlawful because proper service of the show-cause notice and demolition order was not effected and a reasonable opportunity to respond was denied.
