MARGAO
The Supreme Court has dismissed the Civil appeal filed by Maria Filomena Furtado and others in the Furtado Guest house case at Sernabatim.
Maria Filomena Furtado and others had filed an appeal before the Supreme Court against an order of the National Green Tribunal, but the Apex court on March 8 had dismissed the appeals saying the court sees no merit in the appeals.
The National Green Tribunal in 2015 had ordered the demolition of the structures of the Furtado Guest House at Sernabatim.
However, Maria Furtado and others had preferred to appeal before the Supreme Court, but later filed a revision application before the National Green Tribunal, which was dismissed by the Tribunal.
Maria Filomena and others had claimed that the Furtado guest house with restaurant and all structures were existing before the CRZ Notification 1991.
Rejecting the plea, the National Green Tribunal had ordered the demolition of the structures being in violation of the CRZ notification.
