Gavai, Surya Kant, J.B. Pardiwala, JJ. has upheld the eco-sensitive zone notifications for Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Thane Flamingo Creek Sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The applicant submitted that the eco-sensitive zone (ESZs) around Sanjay Gandhi National Park has already been notified vide final notification dated 05.12.2016 and the eco-sensitive zone around Thane Flamingo Creek Sanctuary has already been notified vide final notification dated 14.10.2021. Thus, the judgment dated 03.06.2022 which directs that each protected forest, that is a national park or wildlife sanctuary must have an eco-sensitive zone of minimum one kilometre wide, would not be applicable to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court viewed that a draft notification dated 08.04.2021 concerning Thane Flamingo Creek Sanctuary that was already published by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and after a final decision was taken in respect of the said draft notification, the matter be placed before the Court, however, the final notification dated 14.10.2021 was already issued before the order dated 03.06.2022 and the same was not brought to the notice of the Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Previously, the Court had noted that one kilometre wide &#8220;no development zone&#8221; may not be feasible in all cases, thus, specific instances regarding Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Guindy National Park have also been made in paragraph 42 of the judgment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court observed that the notification dated 05.12.2016 in respect of Sanjay Gandhi National Park as well as the notification dated 14.10.2021 in respect of Thane Flamingo Creek Sanctuary has been issued after following the entire procedure as prescribed under the law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">In re TN Godavarman Thirumulpad v.
