💨 Abstract

The Goa Bench of Bombay High Court has struck down a section of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1974, that allowed the creation of zones within zones, finding it to be primarily beneficial for private landowners. The section was contested in a PIL by three citizen organizations in June 2023, who claimed that it was being misused to change large tracts of land for commercial purposes.
