Shillong developer's floors beyond sanction ordered to face execution by planning authority
A private developer in Shillong built above the sanctioned G+3 level and sought review of a demolition direction. The court recorded the developer had earlier accepted the technical report. The court rejected the review and ordered the planning authority to execute its 2019 demolition order forthwith.

How we verify →Review stands rejected and the 16.08.2019 partial-demolition direction stands to be executed by MUDA.
What happened
The court recorded that Building permission was granted for G+3 floors only, and a technical team found extra floors with unsafe columns, beams and retaining wall.
The court recorded that the applicant had earlier stated they have no objection to the report and would abide by the same.
The court held there was no review ground and observed There is also no apparent error on the face of the records.
The court rejected the plea based on a later private study proposing strengthening instead of demolition above the third floor.
The court ordered that Let the MUDA execute the order of this court dated 16.08.2019 forthwith, continuing the 2014-2015 restraint and sealing process for 12-plus Shillong buildings built 1-2 floors beyond sanction on their own plots.
What the record says
“Building permission was granted for G+3 floors only.”
I.A.(Civil)/3618/2019, order dated 09-03-2021 — read the full text
A peaceful economic act
The action targets deviation from sanction on the owner's own building, not encroachment on public or another person's land, with no victim, fraud, or injury alleged.
What we could not confirm
No Meghalaya building-sanction demolition or conversion penalty from 2022-2026 qualifying on own land was found; the 2021 review order is therefore returned as the most recent qualifying act. Exact street address and floor count for this applicant beyond G+3 were not uniformly stated across excerpts.
