Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Stringent stone-quarry distance norms were challenged for want of jurisdiction and hearing. The court upheld the NGT's jurisdiction but set aside its order for breach of natural justice, directing fresh consideration after public notice. Writ petitions were partly allowed, with the existing interim arrangement continued subject to modification by the NGT.
What did the court decide?
NGT order set aside; fresh consideration directed after notice by publication to affected persons. Existing interim order continued until disposal, subject to modification by the NGT.
