T. Vijayalakshmi also held thus:
"18. It is, thus, now well-settled law that an application for grant of permission for construction of a building is required to be decided in accordance with law applicable on the day on which such permission is granted. However, a statutory authority must exercise its jurisdiction within a reasonable time".
10. An amendment brought in must be possible of practical compliance. When a high rise building is constructed on a valid permit issued by the local authority and cleared for construction by the Fire and Rescue Services, then if a drastic change to the rules are brought about; like in the present case, increase in width of access, then it cannot be said that the entire project has to be scuttled.
