Construction in 50-metre zone of coast during 1994-96 not illegal: SC [1]

The Supreme Court has held that constructions done by real estate firms between 1994 and 1996 in the 50-metre zones from the coast lines are not illegal. The constructions were allowed after government had brought an amendment in 1994 in the Coastal Regulation Zone Act, 1991 reducing the 100-metre 'no development zone' to 50-metre.
