Cause Title: Loganathan v. The State of Tamil Nadu & Ors.
FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS ARE PASSED BY SUPREME COURT IN THIS JUDGEMENT :-
🖋️For the present, the Authorities shall give priority to ensuring that in areas specifically shown as residential, where the permission granted by the State Government is only for residential use, no commercial activity takes place. If any commercial activity is found to be taking place in such areas, the premises shall, in the first instance, be sealed.
🖋️In areas which are not clearly specified for any particular use, such as commercial or residential use, the question of mixed use may also require consideration. However, for the time being, the status quo shall not be disturbed. Proceedings on paper may nevertheless continue.
🖋️With regard to any building/land/area in respect of which a lis may be pending, whether between private individuals concerning title or any other dispute, or between the Government and the concerned party, the pendency of such lis shall not come in the way of the Authorities sealing the premises if the use thereof is in violation of the purpose for which the land/building was allotted and for which the Competent Authority has sanctioned and approved the plan.”
