The Court held that a solitary incident of a dead body found does not conclusively prove pollution. The Court dismissed the plea, noting that such disputes regarding pollution should be approached through the appropriate authority under the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board.
What did the court decide?
No relief granted; the petition seeking directions to the State to remove the body to avoid pollution is dismissed.
