• The Supreme Court, in a majority judgment, gave its go-ahead to the multi-crore Central Vista redevelopment project.
• The project proposes to build a new Parliament three times bigger than the existing 93-year-old heritage building.

• The Central Vista redevelopment project proposed to modify the use of 86.1 acres of land, home to India’s power corridor in the national capital.
• As per the majority opinion, the court cannot order the government to desist from spending money on one project and use it for something else.
• The Court dismissed notions that the project was “sui generis” (unique) and deserved a heightened judicial review.
