Public Interest in Wildlife Conservation Justifies Final Contractual Time Extension Under Article 226 : Madurai HC
The Madurai High Court ordered a final extension of the construction deadline for the Slender Loris Conservation Center to 30.04.2026, directing immediate measurement of completed work and partial fund release to ensure completion. This ruling establishes that when public interest in environmental conservation is at stake, contractual rigidity must yield to judicial intervention under Article 226, setting a precedent for ecological infrastructure projects across India.
