Social worker Peter D’Souza and four other residents are requesting that the court restrain Parmesh Constructions Company Ltd from proceeding with any development activities based on the granted licenses. The petitioners argue that the construction poses a threat to the local environment, leading to irreversible damage to natural green cover and biodiversity, as well as adverse effects on the groundwater table, which endangers local villagers.

The residents claim that the permissions for the project, which includes multi-family villas and swimming pools, were granted without proper road access as mandated by the Building Regulations 2010. They allege that the technical clearance issued on February 2, 2024, is illegal and that the approved plans inaccurately categorize the area as a Commercial (C-1) Zone.

Additionally, the petition points out that the conversion sanad, issued by the additional collector of South Goa, is an amendment to a previous conversion from 2007, which had already lapsed. The residents contend that it cannot be revived or amended to change the designation from residential to commercial use.
