M/S Shchem Corporation v. Gujarat Pollution Control Board
Case brief
What is this about?
The National Green Tribunal disposed of an appeal against an interim Environmental Damage Compensation (EDC) order. The court held that since the respondent-GPCB had passed a final order after granting a hearing, the interim EDC appeal is no longer valid, and the appellant may file a fresh appeal against the final order. The stay application was accordingly disposed of.
What did the court decide?
The appeal and the stay application were disposed of as they no longer survived the passing of the final order by the respondent.
