PANAJI: The High Court of Bombay at Goa disposed of a writ petition filed by four residents of Assagao and Anjuna who had challenged alleged arbitrary demolition and road-widening activities in their villages.
The decision came after the State assured that no action would be taken against their properties without adhering to due process of law.
Petitioners Desmond Alvares, Janice John Plavinkal, Wilma Mary Rodrigues, and Erwin Francis Fonseca argued that their ancestral homes, some over two centuries old, were under imminent threat of demolition at the instance of MLAs Michael Lobo and Delilah Lobo.
