From the Interim Order passed by the Bombay High Court today we would like to share these words of wisdom from Chief Justice Nandrajog and Justice Jamdar of the Bombay High Court.

Excerpt : 

“Fortunately, we are not without guidance. The Supreme Court, expounding the environmental jurisprudence, has settled many principles; one of them is the Precautionary Principle. It flows from the maxim: in dubio pro natura - that is in case of doubt, in favour of the nature. These words are clear enough to require any elaboration. In dubio pro natura places the grant of injunctive relief in the matters of environmental degradation on a different pedestal than a commercial dispute. In light of what we have enumerated as above, for the purpose of pro tem measures the present situation is governed by this principle. Thus an injunctive relief is required to be granted.”

Please help to save our coast by making the effort to share this petition widely - on every social media platform you use. We need to convey to our elected representatives that we mean business. 

Saving the coast will be something you will be proud of. 

Thank you.
