PENALTY AWARDED- CRZ VIOLATION

Posted on by iamlawyer

No , this is not a football match update & CR7 (Christiano Ronald) has nothing to do here. CRZ means Costal Regulation Zones.

What is the case ?

On May 8th , 2019, the Hon’ble Supreme Court, India ordered for demolition of five apartments at Maradu in Kochi – Holy Faith, Kayaloram, Alfa Ventures, Holiday Heritage and Jain Housing  – after it was found that these were built violating the CRZ norms.

What about the Residents of the Apartments ? What they are up to ?

Being aggrieved with such Demolition Order , Residents of the Apartments preferred a Writ Petition (Writ Petition(s)(Civil) No(s). 735/2019 , Sesil Joseph & Ors. Petitioner(s) Versus Union OF India & Ors. Respondent(s)) before the Hon’ble Apex Court. Vide order dated 05/07/19 , the Hon’ble Apex Court was pleased to dismiss the writ petition with the following observation –

There is absolutely no merit in this petition. We are inclined to pass strictures in the entire scenario that has been created in these petitions,but since the counsel has prayed for withdrawal,suffice it to observe that such things should not happen in this Court.

Are n’t they ( Builders of the Apartments ) doing anything- ?

The builders of the Apartments – Alpha Ventures Pvt Ltd , Holy Faith Builders & Developers Ltd , Jain Housing & Construction , filed review petitions before the Hon’ble Supreme Court (R.P.(C) NOS. 1490-1491/2019 IN C.A. NOS. 4784-4785/2019, Alfa Ventures Pvt. Ltd. Petitioner(S) Versus The Kerala State Costal Zone Management Authority & Ors. Respondents(S)). Vide order dated 10.07.19 , the Hon’ble Apex Court was pleased to dismiss the review petition (although an interim stay was granted on the order of demolition by Vacation Bench,comprising of Justice Indira Banerjee & Ajoy Rastogi) with following observation-

Having perused the Review Petitions and the
connected papers with meticulous care, we do not find any justifiable reason to entertain the review
petitions.
The Review Petitions are, accordingly, dismissed.

After dismissal of review petition by the Hon’ble Supreme Court , the residents of the Apartments of Maradu,Kochi are in big trouble.

I mean , it is really unfortunate that the residents have to pay the price for such irregularities.

So far the Story Goes -" Dinshaw Mulla , in his college days always wanted to be a poet and with that hope he wrote a letter to the then renowned poet Lord Alfred Tennyson with some of his poems. The poet after reading his poems advised him to take up law. Thereafter He went on to become law member in Viceroys Executive Council and was knighted and appointed privy councillor "* Back in my college days , with a hope to crack Joint Entrance Exam for Engineering, I took up Science. However after qualifying Higher Secondary Exam , I decided to take up law as my Career. Time will say whether I have chosen my career wisely.
