History

The Supreme Court’s 30 December 1996 Taj Trapezium judgment, filed by environmental lawyer M. C. Mehta, applied the public-trust doctrine to protect a 10,400 km² zone around the Taj Mahal. That precedent underpins the Telangana Supreme Court’s 2024 ruling on the 550-acre Miyapur parcel, directing the state to allocate revenue for education and tribal welfare.
