As a part of the endeavour to provide potable water, the Petitioner has envisaged developing a project site for a suction tank of about 40 sq mtrs near the Fish Market, Gorai Village which is land owned by the Government of Maharashtra, and the said project site is partly affected by 50-meter mangrove buffer zone area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was submitted that Village Gorai is a tourist destination and recently the population has increased multifold times. However, there is no adequate water supply in the region. Due to the high elevation along Uttan Road, the area is facing an acute shortage of water supply and this difficulty in providing water is because the water is to be transported against gravity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">As per the procedure adopted by the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) is that the said project is permissible under the CRZ notification subject to clearance by the State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority, Maharashtra (SEIAA) based on the recommendation of the MCZMA. Thus, after due deliberation and detailed study, MCZMA was pleased to recommend the said project for grant of CRZ clearance subject to the Petitioner&#8217;s compliance with the terms and conditions, including obtaining permission of this Court. Even SEIAA noted that the construction of said project is permissible as per the CRZ notification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that when the issue of development for public good\/interest is pitched against restrictions put in place for environmental protection, the Court must strike a balance. The Court was also satisfied to note that sufficient safeguards have been provided and no destruction of mangroves is involved as the said project is only partly affected by the buffer zone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court held that the Petitioner&#8217;s proposed project is for providing absolutely necessity (water) for the citizens of the area in the vicinity of Village Gorai and as such, the said project certainly falls under the permitted exceptions in the scheme of the things provided for CRZ as well as protection of mangroves. However, the Court directed that in case of deviation from the proposed work of the said project, Petitioner will have to apply for fresh permission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay v Union of India, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/NU8YLvNc\">2023 SCC OnLine Bom 485<\/a>, decided on 24-02-2023<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case :<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Mr. Saket Mone a\/w Ms. Shilpa Redkar and Mr. Subit Chakrabarti, for the Petitioner;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Mr. Rui Rodrigues a\/w Mr. N.R.
