Kerala High Court sets aside Kannur Collector's stop memo halting Kannur apartment build over groundwater claims
Justice C. Jayachandran held that a District Collector cannot use Section 30(2)(v) of the Disaster Management Act to issue a stop memo against a private developer, and that a 2-to-3 metre dip in groundwater does not satisfy the emergency threshold under Section 26(2).
