Jodhpura Sangharsh Samiti v. Union of India
Case brief
What is this about?
The National Green Tribunal corrected typographical errors in a prior order concerning blasting distance and compensation payments for affected villagers. It clarified that the minimum 500-meter safe distance applies to controlled blasting permitted by DGMS norms. It rejected the applicant's petition to recall the order mandating controlled blasting.
What did the court decide?
Corrected the word 'mining' to 'controlled blasting' in the blocked area direction. Resolved strict distance objection to align with DGMS norms. Dismissed the prayer to recall the order.
