JINI DHANRAJGIR . vs COMMNR., CORPN. OF CHENNAI . — C.A. No. 9849 - 9852/2003

Case Summary: Jini Dhanrajgir v. Commissioner, Corporation of Chennai Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeals and set aside the High Court's dismissal orders. The Court remitted the matter back to the Chennai Corporation's competent authority to reconsider the plot subdivision permission afresh, with a reasoned order considering applicable Development Control Rules within two months. Key Issue: Appellants (adjacent property owners) challenged the Corporation's grant of permission to subdivide a neighboring plot into four smaller plots, arguing the subdivision was legally unjustified. The Corporation had approved the subdivision without recording reasons or referencing relevant regulations. Direction: The competent authority must re-examine the subdivision prayer and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, considering any objections the appellants file, within two months of receiving the order.
