The petitioner's application under amended section 52A of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 for compounding of the structure was rejected by the respondent No.2 by an order dated 6th October, 2018, which is impugned in this petition. The said application was rejected solely on the ground that the measurement map reflecting the boundaries of the subject land was not submitted by the petitioner. The case of the petitioner is that he could not do so because of the opposition of the respondent No.5 who is the co-owner of the subject land.
