Vijaykumar Wasudeorao Karanjkar and Others v. Nagpur Municipal Corporation Thr. the Municipal Commissioner, Nagpur and Ors.

What is this about?

The purpose of the Public Interest Litigation was considered served after the respondent Municipal Corporation stated on record that construction of the immersion tank was 80% complete and undertook to plant trees in the same area and prevent accidents after idol immersion. The court accepted the statement as made on instructions and directed filing of an affidavit of compliance within four weeks, with photographs certifying that ordered tree plantation was carried out and tree-guards installed. The court noted there is no embargo on the Planning Authority's right to construct a permanent immersion tank. The PIL stood disposed of accordingly.
