The Supreme Court declined to hear Jaypee Infratech's plea seeking direction to Noida Authority to grant completion certificates to its projects within a 10km radius of a bird sanctuary. The court stated that the central government should make a decision on the issue. The NGT had previously ordered that construction within 10 km of the Okhla Bird Sanctuary would be subject to the decision of the National Board of Wild Life, and authorities should not issue completion certificates without clearance.
