Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court is examining an appeal by the Chandigarh Administration against multiple High Court orders directing the construction of a verandah outside Court Room No.1, which involves heritage conservation considerations. The High Court's directives were based on public interest litigation concerning the preservation of heritage structures and the approval process involving the Archaeological Survey of India and the Chandigarh Heritage Conservation Committee. The Supreme Court's decision will clarify the balance between heritage conservation and infrastructural development. The case underscores the importance of procedural compliance and heritage protection in urban development projects.
