casestatus.in Summary

Summary of WPC 230/2001 (10 July 2023 Hearing) M.K. Balakrishnan's petition concerning wetland protection was heard on 10 July 2023. The petitioner's counsel argued that the Wetlands Atlas 2021 identified an expanded wetland area (2.31 lakh hectares, increased from 2.01 lakh hectares), and sought extension of the Court's earlier protective orders from 2017 to cover this expanded area. The Additional Solicitor General requested time to respond, citing the 2017 Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules. The Court listed the petition along with WPC 304/2018 for hearing on 21 July 2023. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
