The Supreme Court has given Meghalaya four weeks to file an affidavit outlining measures taken to curb alleged illegal mining in the Khas Hills. The court warned this is the “last chance” before further action.
The Supreme Court, On Dec 4, criticized the National Green Tribunal (NGT) for relying solely on a joint committee report without independent evaluation, highlighting a “glaring error.” The Court ruled that tribunals must thoroughly examine all evidence and allow parties to present their case, quashing the NGT’s order against M/s Grasim Industries for violating environmental norms.
