Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the imposition of damages on Anand Engineering College for violating the Environmental Protection Act, 1986. The court found that the evidence presented did not sufficiently demonstrate that the college's effluent was causing significant environmental harm to the National Chambal Sanctuary. Consequently, the court ruled in favor of the college, emphasizing the need for clear evidence of ecological damage before imposing penalties.
