CRZ Notification 2011 | Demolition Orders Void Outside CRZ Boundaries: NGT Western Zone Upholds Natural Justice
NGT Western Zone rules that demolition orders under the CRZ Notification 2011 are invalid if structures lie outside designated CRZ boundaries, even if adjacent to illegal constructions. The tribunal emphasized adherence to natural justice, quashing orders that failed to consider pre-1991 existence proofs or provide reasoned decisions. The ruling sets a precedent for territorial jurisdiction limits in coastal regulation enforcement.
