UNAUTHORISED/ILLEGAL COSTRUCTIONS around the Bhubaneswar Airport
A compilation of Supreme Court's directions: about the accountability of the Government Authorities and Officials. โฌ๏ธ
THE BACKGROUND
โก๏ธ Our very own @BDA_BBSR@bmcbbsr@HUDDeptOdisha are waking up to rampant unauthorised constructions after the Ahmedabad place accident. Did they not know about it already?
โก๏ธ As a matter of fact, the ministers @sureshkpujari and @dr_kcmahapatra along with #DeoRanjanKumarSingh @ushapadhee1996 as well as the IGR are taking pride in bringing rules for sale of land without lay-out approval.....also preparing to change the Apartment law in the state to benefit the builders and land Mafias.
S U P R E M E C O U R T โฌ๏ธ
1) Special Leave to Appeal (C) Nos.12199-12200/2025:
"A person who has no regard for the law cannot be permitted to seek regularisation after constructing two floors without authorisation. The unauthorised construction has to be demolishedโthere is no way out. Justice is to be rendered in accordance with the law.
We are pained to observe that this aspect has not been considered by many state governments while enacting Regularisation of Unauthorised Development Acts based on payment of impact fees,"
2) WP(C ) 940/2017:
PARA 73. โThe public trust doctrine imposes on the State and its functionaries a mandate to take affirmative action for effective management, and the citizens are empowered to question its ineffectiveness."
PARA 73. "They have violated every condition, but still, Authorities were bent upon to condone everything. This reflects absolute dereliction of duty cast upon the Authorities.โ
PARA 41. "An Authority is under a legal obligation to exercise the power reasonably and in good faith to effectuate the purpose for which power stood conferred."
3) K. Ramadas Shenoy v. Chief Officers, Town Municipal Council:
"The High Court was not correct in holding that though the impeached resolution sanctioning plan for conversion of building into a cinema was in violation of the Town Planning Scheme yet it could not be disturbed because Respondent No.3 is likely to have spent money."
4) Dr.G.N. Khajuria and others v. Delhi Development Authority and others:
"The same is that a feeling is gathering ground that where unauthorised constructions are demolished on the force of the order of courts, the illegality is not taken care of fully inasmuch as the officers of the statutory body who had allowed the unauthorised construction to be made or make illegal allotments go scot free. This should not, however, have happen for two reasons. First, it is the illegal action/order of the officer which lies at the root of the unlawful act of the citizen concerned, because of which the officer is more to be blamed than the recipient of the illegal benefit. It is thus imperative, according to us, that while undoing the mischief which would require the demolition of the unauthorised construction, the delinquent officer has also to be punished in accordance with law."
5) M.I. Builders (P) Ltd. v. Radhey Shyam Sahu:
" A number of cases come to this Court pointing to unauthorised constructions taking place at many places in the country by builders in connivance with the corporation/municipal officials. In a series of cases, this Court has directed demolition of unauthorised constructions. This does not appear to have any salutary effect in cases of unauthorised construction coming to this Court. While directing demolition of unauthorised construction, the court should also direct an enquiry as to how the unauthorised construction came about and to bring the offenders to book. It is not enough to direct demolition of unauthorised construction, where there is clear defiance of law."
6) Esha Ekta Apartments Coop Housing Society Limited v. Municipal Corporation of Mumbai:
"We would like to reiterate that no authority administrating municipal laws and other similar laws can encourage violation of the sanctioned plan. The courts are also expected to refrain from exercising equitable jurisdiction for regularisation of illegal and unauthorised constructions else it would encourage violators of the planning laws and destroy the very idea and concept of planned development of urban as well as rural areas."
7) Supertech Limited v. Emerald Court Owner Resident Welfare Association and others:
"The rampant increase in unauthorised constructions across urban areas, particularly in metropolitan cities where soaring values of land place a premium on dubious dealings has been noticed in several decisions of this Court. This state of affairs has often come to pass in no small a measure because of the collusion between developers and planning authorities."
8) Kerala State Costal Zone Management Authority vs. Maradu Municipality:
"We do not think that this Court should be detained by such an argument. The Notification issued under the Environment (Protection) Act is meant to protect the environment and bring about sustainable development. It is the law of the land. It is meant to be obeyed and enforced. As held by the Apex Court, construction in violation of the Coastal Regulation Zone Regulations is not to be viewed lightly and he who breaches its terms does so at his own peril. The fait accompli of constructions being made which are in the teeth of the Notification cannot present, but a highly vulnerable argument. We find that the view taken by the Kerala High Court in aforesaid decision is appropriate. Permission granted by the Panchayat was illegal and void. No such development activity could have taken place. In view of the findings of the Enquiry, Committee, let all the structures be removed forthwith within a period of one month from today and compliance be reported to this Court."
9) State of Haryana v. Satpal:
"Under the circumstances, the High Court has committed a very serious error in directing to legalise the unauthorised occupation and possession made by the original writ petitioners on payment of market price."
10) CIVIL APPEAL NO. 14604 OF 2024:
"That apart, the State Governments often seek to enrich themselves through the process of regularisation by condoning/ratifying the violations and illegalities. The State is unmindful that this gain is insignificant compared to the long-term damage it causes to the orderly urban development and irreversible adverse impact on the environment. Hence, regularization schemes must be brought out only in exceptional circumstances and as a onetime measure for residential houses after a detailed survey and considering the nature of land, fertility, usage, impact on the environment, availability and distribution of resources, proximity to water bodies/rivers and larger public interest. Unauthorised constructions, apart from posing a threat to the life of the occupants and the citizens living nearby, also have an effect on resources like electricity, ground water and access to roads, which are primarily designed to be made available in orderly development and 31 authorized activities. Master plan or the zonal development cannot be just individual centric but also must be devised keeping in mind the larger interest of the public and the environment. Unless the administration is streamlined and the persons entrusted with the implementation of the act are held accountable for their failure in performing statutory obligations, violations of this nature would go unchecked and become more rampant. If the officials are let scot-free, they will be emboldened and would continue to turn a nelsonโs eye to all the illegalities resulting in derailment of all planned projects and pollution, disorderly traffic, security risks, etc."

Sir,
This is to bring to your kind notice that following the Odisha Govt. Finance Department order No.6747/F, Dtd.14.03.2024 regarding revised HRA, the PE Dept. has issued order of revised HRA for PSUs vide Office Memorandum No. 1269/PE dated 11.04.2025. However, the Clause#2 (m) of this order which narrates as โThis shall be effected from its date of issueโ has created a confusion among PSUs and leads to mis-interpretation. Many PSUs have implemented HRA w.e.f 14.03.2024 referring the State Govt. Finance Dept. order No.6747/F, Dtd. 14.03.2024 and few PSUs are in dilemma which date to consider? You are therefore requested to kindly direct the concerned office to clarify the effective date by a modified order/addendum at the earliest.
