The petitions also challenge the Uttarakhand Freedom of Religion Act, 2018. #SupremeCourt had earlier issued notices to the two state governments.
CJI: We are on a question of jurisdiction. The Allahabad and Uttarakhand High Courts are hearing this. We will have the benefit of the HC judgment. Thats why we declined transfer plea
Senior Adv Sanjay Parikh: Innocent people are being targeted. Madhya Pradesh is bringing it and now Gujarat..

CJI: we are not disputing the importance but we are saying let the HC complete hear it

Parikh: but you have already issued notice
CJI: there is nothing personal in this. We have not passed any adverse order. We have only issued notice.

Supreme Court disposes off plea with liberty to approach the High Court

Supreme Court says a tree of higher girth can also be translocated

CJI: Mr Bhushan, will you help us with the protocol?

@pbhushan1 : when such projects are sanctioned environmental impact assessment is carried out and it's taken into account for giving a environmental clearance
CJI: can you still give us a note on protocol showing provisions of environmental law?

Adv Bhushan: Of course, I will. Some recent changes have been made where EIA can be avoided if it's a road within 50 km. There are projects where roads are divided into such bits to avoid EIA
