While granting interim relief, the High Court observed that any work on the acquired land would require the court’s approval during the pendency of the matter.
Meanwhile, the Goa government has been given the liberty to pursue Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance for the proposed bridge project.
The matter will be taken up for further hearing on a later date.
