VINEET KUMAR MATHUR vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed pollution issues in the river Gomti, specifically concerning Mohan Meakins Breweries and other industries. The Court mandated inspections of effluent treatment plants under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and set deadlines for compliance. As Mohan Meakins failed to rectify deficiencies by the stipulated date, the Court upheld the Pollution Control Board's decision to cease operations from April 1, 1993, due to lack of consent under the Act.
