K.T.V. HEALTH FOOD PRIVATE LIMITED vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court examined whether the ex post facto environmental clearance granted by the National Green Tribunal was valid, especially considering the activity of establishing a storage terminal contrary to the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notifications. The Tribunal had set aside the clearance, ruling that the activity was illegal as it was not located within the permissible zone. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, emphasizing the importance of compliance with environmental and coastal zone regulations for environmental protection and lawful activity approval.
