List on 14 September, 2007. Meanwhile, C.E.C. to file its response where-ever not filed. I.A.No.2016: Heard learned Amicus Curaie and also learned Solicitor General for India. Learned Amicus Curaie expressed the view that the C.E.C. should continue to assist the Court and that is why the C.E.C. was appointed and the final Notification was made by MoEF on 17 September, 2002 and it is submitted that the continuation of this Committee would help this Court to issue appropriate directions for the protection of the forests and also the environment. The learned Solicitor General for India pointed out that C.E.C. has been appointed, and the powers are to be exercised under Section 3(3) of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. It is pointed out that some powers which are to be exercised under sub-sections (4) & (5) by the Notification dated 17 September, 2002 have been given to the C.E.C. which are beyond intended delegation and these cause serious administrative problems for the Central Government. Our attention was particularly drawn to clauses II, III, IV and V of para 2 of the Notification in this connection. As an interim measure, we direct that the said C.E.C. will continue until further orders and the learned Solicitor General would give a brief report within a period of four weeks as to the modifications that are required in the Notification issued on 17 September, 2002. List after four weeks. I.A.No.1991: In this application, the applicant is seeking a direction for construction of a bus stand. It is alleged that the C.E.C. has prevented the applicant from constructing some parking area near the bus stand. We are told that the C.E.C. is proposing to inspect the site and shall give a report. We think that before giving any direction to the applicant, the C.E.C. may hear the applicant and file a report and meanwhile the work relating to the construction of bus stand may continue but no other construction shall be carried out. List after six weeks. We think that before giving any direction to the applicant, the C.E.C. may hear the applicant and file a report and meanwhile the work relating to the construction of bus stand may continue but no other construction shall be carried out. List after six weeks. I.A.No.1699: This application relates to construction of a road by N.H.A.I. Originally the alignment was permitted and it is alleged that the original proposal was interfered with as there is some wildlife sanctuary and forest area. Thereafter the matter was considered and the alignment was changed. We may also recall in this connection that the change of alignment was challenged by the same applicant in a writ petition before this Court and the same was dismissed by this Court on 27 March, 2006. Now a contention has been raised by the applicant that the alignment should not have been changed and the original alignment should have been retained without any change. Learned Solicitor General appearing for MoEF also submitted that N.H.A.I. is going ahead with the construction on the basis of the changed alignment. We find no reason to give any direction in this application. Accordingly, the application is rejected. I.A.No.1797: As requested, five weeks' time is granted to C.E.C. to file its response. List thereafter. I.A.No.1860: Adjourned. I.A.No.1861: Adjourned. I.A.No.1865: The matter is referred to C.E.C. for instructions and report, if any.
