Welcomed by two recent Supreme Court rulings that strengthened the supreme strength of the Oroville Foundation’s ruling committee to implement the mother’s founding vision to implement a universal town dedicated to human solidarity and awareness, Auroville on Tuesday attracted all residents and stakeholders to fight for the “city of the future” of “the harm and collectivism of the future.”
Oroville said: “Collective cooperation and harmony are crucial to realizing Oroville’s destiny as a beacon for real human unity.
The Oroville Town Development Council (ATDC) will continue to align with the restructuring structure approved by the Council. The Oroville Foundation’s press statement said the foundation remains committed to ensuring transparency, accountability and growth while advancing Oroville’s mission.
According to the foundation, the “landmark judgment” provided by the Supreme Court strengthened the power of the governing committee to implement Auroville in the universal implementation of the mother’s vision and approved Auroville through a statutory master plan.
The foundation said the rulings articulate the role the Residents Council is to play and put aside instructions from the National Green Tribunal (NGT), which stagnates the construction of Crown Road and other basic infrastructure projects that are consistent with the Auroville master plan.
The judgment confirmed that Oroville’s master plan (approved by the mother by the Council and the Government of India in 2001 and notified in 2010), is a legal force and does not require a new environmental clearance (EC). It also believes that Crown Roads and related projects are part of the approved statutory plan and cannot be stopped by invoking the “Principle of Prevention”, there are no substantive issues involving environmental laws, and recognize that the area involved (Darkali) is not a forest and does not require cleaning of the area under the Forests (Forests Conservation) Act (Forests of 1980) Act.
The Supreme Court adheres to the constitutional guarantee of the right to development that conforms to the right to clean environment, emphasizing the need for “sustainable development” that balances the two basic rights.
In another case, the Supreme Court revoked the Madras High Court’s decision, causing a permanent order issued by the Auroville Foundation to rebuild the Oroville Town Development Commission (ATDC).
The court ruled that the role of the resident assembly was consultative in nature and did not extend to the right of the committee to nominate members of the committee formed by the Director’s Committee. In shelving the obstructed order, the Supreme Court also noted that certain lawsuits aimed at hindering the progress of Oroville repeatedly constitute abuse and fined the petitioner Rs 50,000 for a rupee.
