SC upholds Bombay HC order declining 'wetland' status to Nagpur's Futala lake

New Delhi, Oct 7 (UNI) The Supreme Court today upheld the Bombay High Court's decision refusing to classify Nagpur's Futala lake as a 'wetland' under the Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules, 2017.
The ruling allows the Maharashtra government to proceed with its sanctioned temporary development projects, including a floating restaurant, banquet hall, musical fountain, and a viewing gallery around the historic lake.
A Bench comprising Chief Justice BR Gavai, Justice K Vinod Chandran and Justice NV Anjaria dismissed a petition filed by Swachh Association, a Nagpur-based NGO, which had earlier moved the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court through a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) alleging destruction of the lake's ecological balance.
