M.C. MEHTA vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court clarified its earlier order regarding the ad-hoc Committee established under Section 3(3) of the Environment Protection Act, stating that the Committee headed by Shri Bhure Lal will assume authority, rendering the previous ad-hoc Committee unnecessary. The Court emphasized that any matters outside the Bhure Lal Committee's scope should be addressed by the relevant Statutory Authorities. This modification aims to eliminate ambiguity regarding the jurisdiction of the newly constituted authority under the Act.
