The Supreme Court will constitute a panel of domain experts to help define the term “Aravalli” in an ongoing suo motu environmental case. The Court has ordered status quo on mining and related activities until key preliminary issues are decided.
Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi urged the Supreme Court to involve scientific and technical experts in the stray dogs case, warning against purely legal decision-making. He cautioned that interim judicial orders without domain expertise could lead to irreversible consequences, as seen in the Aravalli Hills matter.
