Summary

The petitioners sought quashing of orders directing sealing/demolition of constructions in the Sajjangarh Eco-Sensitive Zone. HELD- Deemed permission under general development law cannot override express environmental restrictions under the 13.02.2017 Notification and Zonal Master Plan. Precautionary principle and Public Trust Doctrine require environmental protection to prevail over private interest; investment or parity cannot legitimise unauthorised construction. Writ petitions dismissed.
