Pragnesh Shah vs Arun Kumar Sharma on 12 January, 2022
19. The Hon'ble Supreme Court, while dealing with
environmental concerns relating specifically to Mount Abu in
Pragnesh Shah v. Arun Kumar Sharma, reported in 2022
Supreme (SC) 762 emphasized the necessity of strict
environmental regulation and sustainable developmental planning
in the region. The Apex Court recognized that the purpose of
declaring Mount Abu as an Eco-Sensitive Zone was to prevent
irreversible environmental degradation and to ensure that future
development occurs only in consonance with ecological
preservation. The Court particularly highlighted the significance of
the Zonal Master Plan and observed that environmental
governance in Mount Abu must be guided by the precautionary
principle and the doctrine of sustainable development.
