FAIZAN UDDIN, KULDIP SINGH

body1996
JUDGMENT : 1. Despite extension granted, the Steel Authority of India has not been able to instal all the equipments as suggested by NEERI to control pollution. It is stated by the learned Solicitor General that by September, 1996 the recommendations of the NEERI shall be fully complied with. After having read the affidavit filed by Mr. T. Ramalingam, we are of the view that the reasons for not installing the necessary equipment by now are wholly unjustified. We, therefore, impose Rs. 2,00,000/- (Rupees two lakhs) as pollution fine to be paid by the plant within two months from today. We grant time to the plant upto August 31, 1996 to complete the installation of equipments per NEERI's recommendations. 2. List on September 9, 1996.
