Case History
Case Summary: Imtiaz Ahmed v. Union of India, W.P.(C) No. 418/1998 Outcome: The Supreme Court disposed of the writ petition on February 28, 2002, permitting Insilco to continue its silica industry operations after finding it compliant with pollution control norms. The Court directed that CPCB recommendations for all Gajraula industries be treated as binding court orders, including requirements for effluent treatment interlocking, regulated discharge with prior consent, groundwater monitoring, and an environmental management plan before allowing new industrial units or expansions. Key Direction: The U.P. State Pollution Control Board and Industrial Development Corporation must enforce compliance with five CPCB recommendations and prohibit new large/medium polluting units until an environmental management plan is prepared.
