Crematorium area extension near to residential area
I wanted a legal opinion on applying a Stay on the proceedings of Crematorium area extension. I am Prabakar M from a Village called Gajulapalli in Chittoor District. Our village has both upper caste and lower caste people and crematorium ground is separate for both . I am not a strong believer of caste and not against anyone. Now the lower caste people are asking for crematorium area extension. Crematorium area boundaries have our patta land and also parumboke land. Now they applied to Chittoor Collector to allot the entire parumboke area of 35-40 Cents for them for crematorium. We don't have any issues in government allotting the land but the extension area they are asking is very close to residential area and houses are within 50 feet. And also the area is behind the main road itself through which all villagers pass-by. Government is yet to allot the land but they are already cleaning the area to cremate the bodies with fire and is open area too. If they start the crematorium in the extended land they are asking for then it's like coming inside the village where all the residential houses are within reach and exposed to pollution created from the bodies cremated in fire. I wanted a legal opinion whether we can go for staying the proceedings in the Andhra Pradesh High court.

If you feel that the proposed extension of the crematorium is likely to pollute the residential area as well as the atmosphere, you may gather the like minded people and submit an application to the District collector to not to consider acquisition of land for this purpose and not to allot the land.
If the district collector is not accepting the request you may file a PIL before the high court for the same reason and look for remedy through high court.
But please remember that they are asking for an extension of the existing crematorium hence it is not a new place for the purpose, therefore the demand or request has to be convincingly justified.
You need to immediately approach civil court for seeking urgent relief of stay in the aame

I understand your concern. It’s a complex issue involving both social and legal aspects.
The Constitution of India guarantees the Right to Life, which includes the right to a pollution-free environment. This right has been extended to include the right against pollution from crematoriums. You can approach the Andhra Pradesh High Court to apply for a stay order on the proceedings of the crematorium area extension. The process generally involves approaching the court with proper documents and evidence supporting your claim. The environmental impact of crematoriums, especially those close to residential areas, is a valid concern5. The pollution from crematoriums can affect the quality of life for nearby residents. If you believe that the extension of the crematorium area poses a threat to the residential environment, you can also file a complaint with local authorities.
First write to collector as without allotment its kind of encroachment and criminal act.
If collector do not issue restrain order than approach HC.
