Supreme Court Upholds Chandigarh's 2023 Restrictions on Co-Owned Residential Properties
The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's ruling validating Chandigarh Administration's February 2023 public notice, which restricts building plan approvals for co-owned residential properties to cases where all co-owners belong to the same family. This follows the Court's January 2023 judgment aimed at balancing sustainable development and environmental protection by prohibiting fragmentation and apartmentalisation in Chandigarh's Phase 1 sectors. The Residents Welfare Association had challenged earlier administrative permissions to convert plots into apartments, but the appeals were dismissed.
