In view of the above, this Court is of the opinion that in the absence of the vital document, namely, the proceedings in Na.Ka.No.A4/1940/82, dated 09.02.1983, the stand of the respondent cannot be countenanced. Accordingly, this Court holds that the impugned order is unsustainable and is liable to be set aside. In view of the above discussions, the respondent is directed to issue a fresh building approval plan to the petitioner with respect to the subject property within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.” 3. The Hon’ble First Bench, in its order, in W.A.No.1485 of 2026, dated 09.06.2026, modified the aforesaid order of this Court in the Writ Petition to the following effect : “11.
