Bombay High Court Rejects Rs 141 Crore Compensation for Thane Creek Fishermen, Orders Fresh Assessment
The Bombay High Court rejected a Rs 141 crore compensation proposal for fishermen affected by the Thane Creek Bridge-III construction, citing the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) report's lack of scientific basis. While acknowledging the community's impact, the court directed a task force to reassess compensation within six months using verified data and government policy. The fishermen's cooperatives claimed loss of customary fishing rights, but the court noted the TISS report relied on unverified self-declarations and disproportionate compensation relative to the project's cost.
