The Supreme Court upheld the Kerala High Court's order prohibiting the development of resorts on Nediyathuruthu and Vettila Thuruthu islands, citing the Kerala Coastal Zone Management Plan and Coastal Regulation Zone Notifications. The Court affirmed that the local fishermen and public welfare societies had legitimate grounds to oppose the construction, and directed the removal of unauthorized structures and encroachments in accordance with the Land Conservancy Act. The appeals by the project proponents were dismissed, reinforcing the High Court's decision.
