Aldei de Goa case

PANJIM: The High Court of Bombay at Goa has placed a petition against Goa Real Estate and Construction Ltd (GRECL, popularly known as Aldeia de Goa ) for stay on December 17.



It must be recalled that two NGOs -- People's Movement for Civic Action and Goa Foundation—had approached the High Court challenging the permissions granted by the Curca panchayat to GRECL.



The Curca panchayat had granted permission to GRECL to construct a hotel cum residential project at Bambolim village, part of which falls within the 100 mt "no development zone" of the CRZ notification as per the order of the Supreme Court dated April 18, 1996.



The petitioners submitted that the area has been zoned as CRZ III in the approved Goa Coastal Zone Management Plan approved by the Central government on September 27, 1996 and sought to seek stay of the developments in the 100-mt zone on the ground that the proposed construction is in violation of CRZ.
