💨 Abstract

Goa government is considering modifications to a contentious provision in the Town and Country Planning Act, following the Bombay High Court's ruling that read down section 17 (2). The court deemed the section unjust, as it favored private landowners over public interest, sustainable development, and environmental concerns. After a meeting with the Chief Minister, the Town and Country Planning Minister stated that the court judgment provided more clarity to the section and upheld its constitutional validity.
