Sand Dune
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Sand dune, hill, mound or ridge of loose material (not always sand) are formed by wind action. The existence of dunes is a direct function of the ability of wind to transport unconsolidated material. They are commonly associated with desert regions where wind-blown sand occupies extensive areas. It has been estimated, for example, that sand deposits in the Sahara Desert cover about 2,700,000 sq miles (70,00,000 sq km), New Encyclopaedia Britannica (Vol. 10) see also Goa Foundation, Goa v. Diksha Holdings Pvt. Ltd., (2001) 2 SCC 97.
