Veena Gupta vs Central Pollution Control Board

The Supreme Court set aside the orders of the National Green Tribunal which imposed compensation without issuing notice to the Project Proponents, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized the necessity of hearing all affected parties before making adverse decisions, particularly in environmental matters governed by the National Green Tribunal Act. The matter was remanded back to the Tribunal for proper notice and hearing, reinforcing the importance of procedural integrity in environmental adjudication.
