Judgement of the National Green Tribunal (Principal Bench, New Delhi) in the matter of Grama Panchayat Salana Jeewan Singh Wala, Punjab Vs. Union of India Through its Secretary, MoEF dated 17/08/2015 regarding environment clearance (EC) granted to the grain/ molasses based distillery plant (200 KLPD) and 5MW Co-generation Power Plant at Village Salana Jeon Singh Wala, Tehsil Amloh, District Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab.
The challenge is on various grounds including that the project is proposed in a “over exploited” area and the same is notified by the Central Ground Water Authority which prohibits extraction of ground water resources without specific approval of the Authorised Officer and that the public consultation process has not been properly conducted as per the EIA Notification 2006 and that the EC has been granted hastily and in a negligent manner.
