Goa Foundation, Goa vs Diksha Holdings Pvt. Ltd. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's dismissal of a Public Interest Litigation filed by the Goa Foundation against the construction of a hotel in a CRZ-I area, citing violations of the Environment (Protection) Act. The Court found that the High Court had appropriately balanced environmental concerns with economic development, considering various statutory provisions including the Town and Country Planning Act and CRZ Notification. The Court affirmed that the necessary environmental clearances were obtained, and the construction would not disturb existing sand dunes, thereby rejecting the appeal.
