Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and R Mahadevan highlighted the JDA's responsibility in town planning and noted complaints from Jaipur residents about violations of building norms. The court directed that these complaints be examined further. The Supreme Court is actively monitoring compliance with its earlier directives regarding illegal constructions nationwide. During the proceedings, it was revealed that authorities submitted affidavits primarily detailing surveys of violations, lacking information on enforcement actions taken against offenders.
