NGT Directs Activist to Submit Proof in CRZ Violation Case Against Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has given activist Santosh Daundkar four weeks to present evidence supporting his claims against the CRZ (Coastal Regulation Zone) clearance for Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat renovation.

Daundkar claims Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat received CRZ clearance unfairly despite past violations, such as illegal construction, demolishing heritage structures, changing reserved land use, and extracting groundwater without permission.

Further, he argued that earlier violations (2000-2006) were ignored. The NGT noted the clearance followed CRZ 2019 guidelines and scheduled the next hearing for April 23.

Hence, the NGT stated in its order that, if Daundkar does not provide proof, his appeal will be rejected.
