Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petitions filed by M/s Envitech Marine Consultants seeking a 'No Objection Certificate' for the conversion of the warship INS Viraat from scrap. The court noted that the High Court had directed the Union of India to dispose of the pending representation without addressing the merits of the petitioners' claims. The decision to scrap INS Viraat was based on financial considerations and the lack of interest from any State Government to take over the vessel.
