The Madras High Court held that the State cannot insist on prior permission to erect a war memorial on private patta land, reaffirming its earlier view regarding a memorial pillar for UAPA-accused activist Stan Swamy in a similar case.
The Bombay High Court denied a Pune school protection against a demolition order for illegally built structures, emphasizing that “illegality is incurable.” The court insisted that good purposes do not justify unauthorized construction, stating that such practices must not be overlooked and warning against normalizing illegal building activities in Maharashtra.
