Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Madhya Pradesh High Court's directive under Article 226 of the Constitution to relocate dairies situated near water supply pipelines in Jabalpur, which posed a risk of contamination due to cow and buffalo dung storage. The Court emphasized the necessity of protecting public health and the environment, affirming the High Court's findings regarding the hazardous conditions created by the dairies. The Court ordered the dairy owners to shift their operations to designated alternative sites within two months to mitigate the pollution risk.
