M/S. Monnet Ispat & Energy Ltd vs Jan Chetna & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court improperly entertained a Public Interest Litigation challenging the NEAA's order under the National Environment Appellate Authority Act, 1997. The Court emphasized that the NEAA's decision to grant environmental clearance was made in accordance with the law and that the High Court should not have remanded the case without proper jurisdiction. The appeal by M/s. Monnet Ispat and Energy Limited was allowed, thereby upholding the NEAA's order and dismissing the PIL.
