PANAJI, Sept. 17 -- A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed before the High Court challenging the constitutional validity of the Goa Erection of Shacks on Public Beaches (Regulation and Control) Act, 2024.

The legislation was enacted to regulate temporary and seasonal structures, including beach shacks, that are permitted under the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification.

The petition has brought the legal framework governing the erection and regulation of such structures on Goa's public beaches under judicial scrutiny.

The challenge comes against the backdrop of regulations governing temporary structures along the state's coastline, where activities are subject to provisions under the CRZ framework.
