Supreme Court hears applications seeking review of its Vanashakti judgement.

In the judgement, the Court had barred the Central government from granting retrospective environmental clearance.

Bench: CJI BR Gavai, Justices K Vinod Chandran and Ujjal Bhuyan

Sr. Adv. Kapil Sibal: the OM refers to 2 powers. It was passed in pursuance of the order of the NGT. There is apparently an error.

Sibal: all disputes with respect to violations can be dealt by the tribunal. None of this was pointed out to the bench.

CJI: it appears from the NGT order that despite violation the violators continued with impunity. That’s why these directions were there.

Sibal: they said it projects are permissible then only it will be done. If they are impermissible there will be demolition. many of these projects were permissible ones. Like the airport. Central government passed the OM in pursuance to the NGT order.

Bench: Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan, and NK Singh

#SupremeCourt #Indiabulls

Adv Prashant Bhushan (appearing in person)

Sr. Adv. Harish Salve (for Sameer Gehlaut, founder and chairman of India Bulls): this is such blackmail litigation. If an investigation is needed it is into these NGOs. All the agencies have filed affidavits and nothing has come out. What is this kind of witch hunting. Who is this stranger. I am objecting the maintainability of this petition.

Justice Kant: CBI says ED may continue investigation into IHFL’s affairs. We want to know what is the ED’s stand on it. We will hear you on maintaining Mr. Salve. Don’t worry.
