Anil Hoble vs Kashinath Jairam Shetye And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the National Green Tribunal's decision regarding unauthorized construction under Section 14(1) and Section 14(3) of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010, affirming that the appellant's construction was detrimental to the coastal ecosystem and constituted a violation of the No Development Zone regulations. The Court found that the appellant failed to prove that the structure existed prior to the critical date of 19th February, 1991, and thus the construction was unauthorized. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the Tribunal's findings on environmental protection.
