Can’t legitimise illegal buildings, raze them: SC

The Supreme Court ruled against legitimizing unauthorized constructions, even with prolonged occupancy. Demolition is mandated for structures violating laws, regardless of time or investment. The court criticized states' regularization practices, citing environmental damage, and directed them to prioritize orderly urban development. Further, it instructed financial institutions to verify occupancy certificates before loan sanctions.
