What happened
The Supreme Court critically examined Bengaluru's Premium Floor Area Ratio (FAR) scheme, which allows property owners to purchase additional construction rights by paying prescribed premium charges. The Court contrasted the scheme with Greater Noida, noting that the latter was planned with a 30-40 year outlook. The bench expressed concern that the scheme might strain Bengaluru's infrastructure, citing failures seen in Gurugram during heavy rains.

Why it matters
The petitioners argued that the scheme might inadvertently regularize illegal constructions. The Solicitor General assured the Court that the scheme would not regularize unauthorized constructions under Akrama-Sakrama. The matter involves a plea challenging the order of the Karnataka High Court that had previously upheld the scheme's constitutional validity.
