Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court admitted the appeal challenging the National Green Tribunal's decision to grant environmental clearance for the expansion of a refinery in Gujarat. The NGT had found no grounds to interfere with the clearance, provided that the project proponent complied with environmental safeguards. The court's order emphasizes the importance of adhering to environmental regulations to protect marine ecosystems.
