Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the National Green Tribunal's (NGT) orders regarding the draft development plan for the Shimla Planning Area under the Himachal Pradesh Town & Country Planning Act, 1977. The Court held that the NGT's interim and final orders, which restrained the State from implementing the draft plan, were valid as they were in line with the provisions of the TCP Act, particularly Section 87. The appeals challenging the NGT's orders were dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's authority in environmental matters.
