Case Summary: Common Cause v. Union of India, W.P.(C) No. 160/2005 On 22 October 2008, the Supreme Court disposed of Common Cause's PIL challenging bio-medical waste disposal by incineration. The Court found the petitioner had not provided scientific evidence that existing incinerators cause serious environmental pollution and noted that alternative state-of-the-art technologies could be pursued through the Central Pollution Control Board. The petition was dismissed, with the Court directing the petitioner to approach concerned authorities with suggestions for improved technologies.
