Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the operation of the respondent's flour mill and other businesses, which caused significant vibrations and air pollution, constituted a nuisance under the principles of tort law. The Court emphasized the right to a healthy living environment and upheld the Trial Court's decree for permanent injunction against the respondent's operations, thereby reversing the High Court's decision that had favored the respondent. The judgment reinforced the legal principle that a property owner has the right to seek relief from activities that cause harm to their property and health under the law of nuisance.
