P.PRAMILA vs STATE OF KARNATAKA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to dismiss the appellants' petitions challenging the proceedings initiated under Section 22 of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. The Court found that the appellants had violated pollution control norms by establishing iron ore stack yards without the necessary consent from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board. The Court emphasized that the High Court's reliance on a prior order from 17.04.2007 was justified, as it had already addressed similar grounds raised by the appellants.
