Mumbai HC: TDR misuse doesn't grant ownership claims on third-party land

• Mumbai High Court rules against direct ownership claims on third-party land due to TDR misuse.
• Court suggests financial compensation from developers as a more appropriate remedy for TDR irregularities.
• Justice Sandeep Marne's bench clarified that TDR is a distinct development right, separate from land ownership.
• The ruling stemmed from a Thane case where TDR from one plot was used on an adjacent one, leading to a dispute over residential units.
• The High Court rejected claims over 41 residential units, emphasizing that TDR's real estate connection to original land ceases when used elsewhere.
