Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision allowing the Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) three months to either obtain approval as a SEZ compliant unit or a waiver from the SEZ Act conditions. The court emphasized the need for a fair hearing for both parties in the approval process. If CWC fails to comply within the stipulated time, Adani Ports Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZL) may proceed to acquire land for CWC's warehouse facility outside the SEZ area.
