SABIR SIDDIQ MALIK vs BOMBAY ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION GROUP .

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision regarding the eviction of alleged encroachers in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, emphasizing that the determination of unauthorized occupation must be made by a competent statutory authority rather than in a writ petition. The Court noted that the appellants have the right to seek adjudication from the appropriate authority within four months and can appeal any adverse decision within the prescribed limitation period. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's directive to establish a grievance redressal committee without substituting the statutory body.
