Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals under Article 136 against the Bombay High Court's orders, affirming the dismissal of the writ petition and review petition concerning alleged violations of the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification and the Town and Country Planning Act, 1974. The Court held that the High Court's reliance on the report from the National Institute of Oceanography, which stated the construction was not within 100 meters of the High Tide Line, was justified. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims regarding the construction's legality under Section 44 of the Act and Section 52 for demolition.
