Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Sridevi Datla challenging the National Green Tribunal's decision regarding the environmental clearance for the construction of a Greenfield International Airport in Bhogapuram, Vishakapatnam. The court found that the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change had followed the necessary procedures and considered public objections before granting the clearance. The judgment reinforces the authority of the NGT and the procedural compliance required for environmental clearances.
