Reliance Natural Resources Limited Vs Reliance Industries Limited, (2010) 7 SCC 1

Hon'ble Supreme Court of India observed as
“It must be noted that the constitutional mandate is that the natural resources belong to the people of this country. The nature of the word “vest” must be seen in the context of the public trust doctrine (PTD). Even though this doctrine has been applied in cases dealing with environmental jurisprudence, it has its broader application.”
