The Goa government’s decision to extend the Goa Beach Shack Policy for the 2026-27 season has been challenged before the High Court.
The three-year Beach Shack Policy had expired in May this year. However, the state government decided to extend the policy by one more year, allowing it to remain in force for the 2026-27 season.
A petition questioning the legality of the extension has now been filed before the High Court. The matter is scheduled to come up for hearing on August 12.
The petition challenges the government’s decision to continue the existing policy beyond its original tenure. The High Court is expected to examine the validity of the extension during the upcoming hearing.
The outcome of the case could have significant implications for the implementation of the Beach Shack Policy and the operation of beach shacks across Goa for the current tourism season.
