While the respondents argue for development, the petitioners argue for the environment.""It is an established principle of law that Right to Life as envisaged under Article 21 of the Constitution of India includes the right to a clean environment. The right to live with human dignity becomes illusionary in the absence of a healthy environment.""However, said rights are not absolute and have to co-exist with sustainable development (M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India and Ors., 2018 SCC Online SC 2122). Therefore, a balance has to be achieved between urban development and ecology and requirements of development, " the Court said.A single-Judge bench of Justice Navin Chawla said: "While the project cannot be faulted at the sanction stage, the respondents are directed to ensure a time-bound and expeditious completion of the projects that have been highlighted by it and mentioned hereinabove.

These orgsations have also been allotted 416 number of parking slots. Effort should be made to encourage these orgsations to also reduce footfall of general public; incentivizing their workforce to use pooled modes of transport; use of public transport facilities and other means of ensuring a lesser number of private vehicles visiting the Project, NBCC apprised the Court."In the present judgment, it has been found that there is an excess space earmarked for commercial purpose. Direction has been issued for the Authorities to consider if the same can be regularized. TheAuthorities are directed to also consider the issue of parking of vehicles and effect thereof while considering the issue of regularization, " the Court said.The Court also said that there is indeed a shortfall in the compensatory tree plantation by the respondent NBCC."It is, therefore, directed that before handing over of the possession of the commercial/office block to the allottees, the respondent no. 19 (NBCC) shall ensure that the compensatory tree plantation is completely carried out, " the court said.With these directions, the court disposed of the petition filed by Advocate Aman Lekhi and others seeking appropriate remedy in accordance with the law on issues pertaining to re-development of Kidwai Nagar (East).The petitioners were represented by advocates Manali Singhal, along with Santosh Sachin, Deepak S.
