Allahabad High Court limits compounding of urban planning offenses in Ghaziabad
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
The Allahabad High Court held that an offense under Section 32 of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973, can be compounded only once. The court ruled that if a promoter repeats the same deviation from a sanctioned layout after an initial compounding, the development authority does not have the power to compound it again.

Why it matters
This ruling establishes a stricter regulatory precedent for urban planning within Uttar Pradesh. It limits the ability of development authorities to regularize repeated unauthorized construction by promoters.
