The bench also directed the government to find a comprehensive solution to address the menace of conversion of agricultural lands into housing plots and posted the case for further hearing to February 27, 2017.

Rejecting the pleas of some of the counsel representing developers and land owners for relaxation of the ban, at least for the buildings already constructed on unapproved layouts, it said, “Any indulgence on this score would take the matter back to square one.” The court on September 8, 2016, while hearing a PIL, had banned the registration of unapproved plots and houses and conversion of agricultural land for non-farming purposes.
