Public Trust Doctrine Under Articles 21, 48-A & 51-A(g) | Rajasthan HC Bars Road/Crematorium on 'Gair Mumkin Nala' Land : Rajasthan HC

Rajasthan High Court reinforces the public trust doctrine, holding that land classified as 'Gair Mumkin Nala' (natural water channel) cannot be repurposed for roads or crematoriums. The ruling underscores the State's constitutional duty to protect natural resources, directly invoking Articles 21, 48-A, and 51-A(g) to prevent ecological degradation.
