The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a plea challenging the construction of LuLu Mall, a popular shopping mall in Thiruvananthapuram, the Capital city of Kerala.
The bench of Chief Justice of India NV Ramana, Justices JK Maheshwari and Hima Kohli upheld Kerala High Court's order dated August 13, 2021 passed by the bench of Justice S.V. Bhatti and Justice Bechu Kurian.
The bench observed that the mall has been granted requisite permission by the statutory authorities.
The PIL petitioner had contended that the EC was granted without jurisdiction or authority. To support this argument, he mentioned that the ongoing construction was of a building having a built-up area of 2.32 lakhs sq.m. However, according to the petitioner, the SEIAA had no authority to grant a clearance beyond 1.5 lakhs sq.m.
Senior Advocates Mukul Rohatgi, V Giri, and Advocate Haris Beeran appeared for Respondent Lulu Group
