The Municipal Corporation Faridabad vs Modern School Faridabad

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court dismissing the intra-court appeals against the order regarding the Municipal Corporation's office order dated 14.06.1999, which mandated registration of tubewells and imposed user charges for unauthorized tubewell usage. The Court clarified that the Schools, having installed tubewells for educational and agricultural purposes, must comply with the regulations set forth under Section 3(3) of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The Court affirmed the Municipal Corporation's authority to levy charges for the use of tubewells discharging into municipal property, thereby reinforcing the need for compliance with environmental regulations.
