GOPAL KRISHNA PRASAD Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS petition has been filed in public interest alleging that the Industries all over the State of Jharkhand have been set up which emit hazardous gas creating pollution and hence an enquiry/investigation be made to identify all existing polluting industries consuming coal and coke and all these industries are running without following any statutory clearance and no objection certificate.

(2.) HAVING heard the petitioner in person as also on perusing the petition, we find that the petition is extremely vague as no clear identification and names of the industries have been specified which are polluting. A blanket order stopping the running of all industries cannot be passed without clearly indicating as to what are the nature of hazardous substance and what illegality have been committed by them.

(3.) THIS petition is dismissed subject to the aforesaid liberty.
