NEWS ITEM hindustan TIMES A. Q. F. M. YAMUNA v. CENTRAL POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

2001-12-11

body2001
( 1 ) IA has been filed. It has been taken on board and the same be numbered. ( 2 ) LEARNED amicus curiae draws our attention to the notification dated 7/6/2000, wherein it was inter alia stated that the plans would be sanctioned only after arrangements for provision of augmentation of municipal services have been made. He then contends that now a press note has been issued on 27/11/2001 which purports to supersede the said notification and permits construction of additional floor without first augmenting the civic infrastructure. The press note indicates that it is only after money is generated by granting permission to construct additional floor that there will be augmentation of civic infrastructure. The learned amicus curiae submits that this is not only contrary to the notification of 7/6/2000, but town planning also requires that the civic infrastructure be in place before a building is allowed to be constructed.
