In 30 seconds

In Durga Shankar Alias Durgesh v. State of Rajasthan, the Rajasthan High Court dismissed writ petitions seeking to quash orders for sealing or demolition of constructions located within the Sajjangarh Eco-Sensitive Zone. The court held that deemed permission under general development law cannot override express environmental restrictions, and dismissed the petitions.

Background

The petitioners challenged orders directing the sealing and demolition of their constructions situated in the Sajjangarh Eco-Sensitive Zone.

Issues before the Court

  • Whether deemed permission under general development law can override express environmental restrictions under the 13.02.2017 Notification and Zonal Master Plan.

Court held

The writ petitions were dismissed.

Ratio / legal principle

Deemed permission under general development law cannot override express environmental restrictions under the 13.02.2017 Notification and Zonal Master Plan, and environmental protection must prevail over private interest based on the precautionary principle and Public Trust Doctrine.

Key points

  • The petitioners sought quashing of orders directing sealing/demolition of constructions in the Sajjangarh Eco-Sensitive Zone.
  • The court applied the precautionary principle and Public Trust Doctrine.
  • Investment or parity cannot legitimise unauthorised construction.

Why it matters
