casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Ganesh Metal Industries v. District Collector, Ranga Reddy District The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order that had cancelled quarry leases within 2km of residential areas and water reservoirs near Hyderabad. Based on a detailed expert assessment by the Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad, which found no adverse environmental impacts from quarrying operations at the 1.2km distance, the Court held that 1km is a safe distance between quarry sites and residential localities/water reservoirs, rejecting the High Court's precautionary 2km restriction. The Court restored the appellants' mining rights subject to compliance with Pollution Control Board clearances and environmental safeguards.
