D.D.A vs Rajendra Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court granted leave in special leave petitions challenging the Delhi High Court's order regarding the Commonwealth Games Village construction on the Yamuna riverbed. The Court emphasized the need to protect the ecological integrity of the river, citing Article 21 of the Constitution, which encompasses the right to a healthy environment. The Court upheld the High Court's directive for an inquiry into the ecological impact and warned that any construction on the riverbed is at the risk of the organizers and government, thereby reinforcing the public trust doctrine and precautionary principle.
