Mumbai Waste Mgt.Ltd vs Sec.Of Enviornment,Govt.Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision dismissing the writ petition filed by Mumbai Waste Management Ltd. (MWM) against the Secretary of Environment, Government of India, regarding the allocation of operational areas for hazardous waste management. The Court found that the modifications made by the government were valid under the Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008, and that MWM's challenge was based on a misinterpretation of the authority granted under these rules. The Court emphasized that the 2008 rules did not empower the petitioner to operate outside the designated area, affirming the High Court's ruling.
