The SC slammed the Kerala govt. for allowing massive illegal construction in its coastal zones.
A bench of Justice Arun Mishra and S Ravindra Bhat made it clear that the erring officials of the state will be taken to task, as they are responsible for the loss.
“No one is above the law and we would not leave a single person responsible for devastation,” bench stated.
The court alleged that the state govt. was just holding meetings and not dealing with the menace of illegal constructions in ecologically sensitive zones.
The apex court had directed the demolition of the illegal buildings within a month.
