MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Wednesday, in an important order, banned "non-forest activities" in mangrove areas along the state's
coast.
A division bench of Justice J N Patel and Justice B R Gavai ruled that its directive would hold irrespective of whether the government had notified a mangrove plot as "protected forests" or not.
