M/S Harsh International & Anr vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court allowed the writ petition, directing that the exemption under Rule-2 of the Plastic Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 2011, applies to the petitioners for manufacturing filter Khaini in plastic packaging exclusively for export. The Court referenced its earlier decision in W.P.(C) No. 466 of 2011 (Baba Global Ltd. Vs. Union of India), which permitted similar exemptions subject to an undertaking. The petitioners' compliance with the undertaking was confirmed, leading to the exemption from the rules' operation.
