Complaining to the Centre for not completing the several process of environment clearance to the Adani Group’s Mundra Ports and the Special Economic Zone (MPSEZ) in Gujarat, the apex court gave the last chance to the MoEF to for completing the necessary and stated that the secretary and the director was personally responsible for all the further delay.
The green bench headed by JS Khehar, the Justice while presiding over the court said that they were going to make someone responsible for the delay as they had asked the officials previously to complete the procedure of environment clearance by eight weeks from May 2nd and the last date had expired a fortnight ago.
However, the apex court stated that they were not looking to complete the process of granting final clearance now and that they are going to give one last opportunity to finish the process of the environmental clearance by eight weeks from the given date.
The court in its last order stated that they would consider it appropriate for the Secretary, MoEF to look into the process and that he will be assisted by the director of MoEF. If any further delay happens, they will be directly responsible for it.
