Case Summary: Mohd. Haroon Ansari v. District Collector, Ranga Reddy The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order canceling quarry leases in Kokapet village, Hyderabad. While the High Court had imposed a 2-kilometer safety distance from residential areas and water reservoirs based on precautionary principles, the Supreme Court—relying on a detailed expert assessment by the Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad—reduced this to 1 kilometer, finding that blasting vibrations and air/water pollution from the quarries posed no measurable adverse impacts on the ground-level service reservoir, Osmansagar lake, or nearby villages. The Court upheld environmental safeguards but allowed mining operations to resume subject to Pollution Control Board clearance and compliance with prescribed conditions.
