Himachal Pradesh High Court Addresses Heritage and Construction Concerns in Shimla and Mashobra
The Himachal Pradesh High Court has taken action on two public interest litigations concerning local development projects. It issued notices to the state government over alleged unauthorized construction near the historic Ellerslie Building in Shimla, citing potential violations of heritage protection rules. Separately, the Court halted construction of a link road in Mashobra after finding it primarily served a private residence rather than the local community, noting environmental concerns and prior restrictions on unauthorized work. Both cases highlight judicial oversight on heritage preservation and public resource use.
