Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Calcutta High Court's directive to shift the bus terminus at Esplanade within six months, based solely on NEERI's recommendations, was not justified. The Court emphasized that the bus terminus has been operational for over sixty years and serves a significant number of commuters, thus its relocation would cause undue inconvenience. The Court found that NEERI's suggestion was intended as a long-term measure rather than an immediate requirement, leading to the conclusion that the High Court's order should be set aside.
