Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the Government of India to issue orders for the closure of units violating environmental laws under the Environment Protection Act, 1986, emphasizing that the affidavit submitted was insufficient and did not fully comply with the previous order dated 17.12.2004. The Court mandated that a compliance report be filed within six weeks detailing the units to be closed. This ruling underscores the obligation of the government to enforce environmental regulations effectively.
