Mantri Techzone Pvt. Ltd. vs Forward Foundation on 6 August, 2019
27. Even though the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Mantri Techzone,
supra, has approved larger buffer zones ranging from 25 meters to 50
meters from the edge of the drain (depending upon size of the drain),
the buffer zone laid down by the NCR Planning Board which is lesser
area, must be followed in the NCR, which includes Ghaziabad. Thus,
all constructions within the buffer zone of 12 meters from the edge of
any drain have to be held illegal and liable to be removed. This will
include constructions raised by the project proponents who have filed
objections before this Tribunal. No further construction can be allowed
in the buffer zone. Preferably, it should be covered by forest. There can
be no estoppel against law and mere fact of construction having
already been made can be no defence to need for protection of
environment in the larger interest of the society.
M.I. Builders Pvt. Ltd vs Radhey Shyam Sahu And Others on 26 July, 1999
In view of
section 24 of the Water Act, it is not possible to accept that the Nagar
Nigam can, in exercise of its contract making power or authority
responsible for maintaining the drain, allow either impeding of flow or
polluting of the drain. The Nagar Nigam is to act as a trustee in respect
of the drain. The powers of the Nagar Nigam are not unlimited so as to
either by itself or through anyone else violate the mandate of the Water
Act. Reference may inter-alia be made to M.I. Builders (P) Ltd. v.
Radhey Shyam Sahu (1999) 6 SCC 464 (Paras 45 to 50). Relevant
observations are:
