"My objection is not what the government wants to do. My objection is that the manner in which things have been done. The Committees and Administrative authorities and others have been circumvented," Hegde submitted.

Hegde said that for so many Indians, there is so much living heritage which is in that area. "If it is to be changed in any manner for better or for worse, in my opinion, there has to be an effective public hearing for that," he added.

"The procedure must be followed," Hegde submitted before the top court. Hegde also questioned the way that the "public hearing consideration of objections was not done in the case, raised some sort of doubt in the case".

The top court asked, "What are the provisions? Is the public hearing mandatory?" (ANI)
