Hence, the present Writ Petition.

6. It is the further contention of the petitioner that herself and her son have approached the respondents-authorities and made application individually, seeking building permission in respect of the property purchased by them under the aforementioned two sale deeds; that the respondents-authorities by considering the applications made by her granted building permission on 23.06.2022 for construction of Stilt + 2 Upper floors; and that her son was also granted building permission in respect of the portion of the property purchased by him vide building permission, dt.04.07.2022, for construction of Stilt + 2 Upper floors.
7. It is the further case of the petitioner that since, both the petitioner’s property and her son’s property are adjacent to each other, the petitioner along with her son decided to develop the entire extent of 400 Sq. Yards into a single building consisting of Ground + 4 Upper Floors, and have accordingly made an application to the authorities on 23.02.2023 seeking revision of plan, and since, the said application was not returned on any ground nor rejected, the petitioner and her son started the construction and completed the building.

Petitioner further contends that due to certain reasons, like stability and vastu, the petitioner and her son constructed 5th floor also and an application was submitted to the 2nd respondent on 01.06.2024 seeking regularization of the entire building including 5th floor constructed by them under Section 455A of the GHMC Act, 1955 (for short ‘the Act 1955’).
9. Petitioner further contends that while she and her son have made an application seeking revision of the permission and also submitted an application for regularization of construction made by them including 5th floor, the 4t
Unauthorized construction cannot be regularized if it deviates from sanctioned plans, and failure to obtain proper permissions invalidates subsequent legal claims for regularization.
The court noted that unauthorized construction may be regularized under existing rules if deviations are minor, requiring proper procedures for addressing complaints.
