Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition concerning damage to agricultural lands and properties due to effluent discharge from a fertilizer plant, invoking Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court upheld the dismissal of the writ petition by the High Court, noting that it raised disputed questions of fact unsuitable for resolution under Article 226. The parties were directed to resolve their disputes through arbitration, as agreed upon, and the matter was kept pending until the arbitration award was received.
