Grasim Industries Limited Chemicals ... vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh

The Supreme Court held that the National Green Tribunal (NGT) violated principles of natural justice by not allowing the appellant to be heard or to participate in the proceedings, as mandated by the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010. The Court found that the NGT's reliance solely on the Joint Committee's report without considering the appellant's objections was erroneous. Consequently, the Court quashed the NGT's order and remitted the matter back to the NGT for fresh consideration, emphasizing the necessity of a fair hearing under Article 14 of the Constitution.
