Such permission is a pre-requisite in view of the directions of the Supreme Court,&#8221; the board said.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court in May 1996 restricted the ongoing construction activities in the ridge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;some parts of the ridge have been erased in the central city area. No further infringement of the ridge is to be permitted. It should be maintained in its pristine glory&#8221;, the Supreme Court said earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi government submitted that it had informed the court that the RMB in similar cases in the past had granted clearance to the Delhi Metro for laying of Metro tracks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But those activities were carried out outside the notified forest land and the permission for it was also confirmed by the Supreme Court through the CEC,&#8221; counsel for the Delhi government said.<\/p>\n<p>While the Central government claimed it had all the required permission and argued that the site in question was actually in the extended ridge area where it was permitted to carry out construction, the Delhi government told the High Court that the land was in the &#8220;geological ridge area&#8221;, which was highly protected.<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi government said that in its view there should be no construction activity in the area. It informed the court that the land was earlier with the revenue department, but was transferred to the forest department in view of its location.<\/p>\n<p>The High Court sought a response from the two organisations after the petitioner argued that the RMB needed to be kept in the loop on the issue to ensure all permissions had been taken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two defence agencies have been forced to stop building residential flats in the heart of the national capital with the Delhi High Court staying construction in the ecologically sensitive ridge area.
