In Brief
Goel Ganga Developers sought reconsideration of an earlier Supreme Court judgment interpreting 'built-up area' under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification. The developer argued that the EIA's definition of built-up area and certain project categories lacked clarity and precision.

The earlier judgment would not impact the present case.",
