A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni said on Thursday that authorities “should not allow families owning only one flat to have four or five cars if they do not have sufficient parking space” available in their respective housing societies.
The bench was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by a Navi Mumbai resident and activist Sandeep Thakur, challenging a government notification that amended the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations Rules, permitting developers to reduce car parking space.
Mr Thakur said in his plea that developers do not provide sufficient parking spaces in new apartment colonies, thereby forcing residents to park outside the premises of the housing society.
