GBA’s city corporations can’t add new conditions for issuing Occupancy Certificates after approving building plan: Karnataka High Court

The Karnataka High Court has ruled that city corporations under the Greater Bengaluru Authority cannot impose new conditions, such as mandatory land relinquishment for road widening, when issuing Occupancy Certificates if those conditions were not part of the original building plan approval. The court emphasized that authorities must adhere to the terms established at the time of the initial construction license and cannot deny property rights without due process.
