Maradu apartments demolition order

[15] The NOC was issued to Golden Kayaloram in 1995 (NO.A3.3/95) by the Secretary of Maradu Grama Panchayat and a copy of this was submitted as exhibit P1 in WP(C).No.

[5] This no objection certificate was issued by the Grama Panchayat before the Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) of Kerala was approved in 1996.

[6] The three member committee appointed by the Supreme Court of India had issued a notice to the builders of the apartments to respond about their CRZ status.

[17][18] • Vidhi is a 2021 Indian Malayalam-language film directed by Kannan Thamarakkulam, based on the Maradu apartments demolition order.

A Mumbai-based advocate and the president of National Lawyers Campaign for Judicial Transparency and Reforms said that as per notification issued in 2011 by the central government, Maradu was brought under CRZ II and that even if the buildings were demolished, they could be reconstructed at the same location.

The procedure adopted by the Supreme Court in bypassing the Kerala Municipality Act and rules under it was without jurisdiction and shocking.
