Beta, Supreme Court only. We check Supreme Court of India judgments only for now: a High Court citation reads "Not in our corpus", which never means it does not exist.

Cited by

We found no other Supreme Court judgment we hold that cites this one.

Counted only in the Supreme Court judgments we hold whose text we could read, not in High Court judgments. We match each citation to a judgment automatically, so a citation we cannot match is not counted. "Cited" says only that a judgment refers to this one, not whether it followed, distinguished or overruled it.

The Court's text

Paragraphs from our copy of the Supreme Court Reports print, with the Court's own paragraph numbers, the printed page and, where printed, the margin letter. The Court did not number this judgment's paragraphs, so they are listed by page. Link to paragraph N with #para-N.

We have heard the learned Attorney General and the learned Amicus Curiae. The learned Attorney General has pointed out that the ad-hoc Committee set up pursuant to this Court's order dated 13th September, 1996 in IA No.18 in WP (C) 4677of1985 headed by Justice R K Shukla is no longer necessary after the constitution of the Authority under Section 3(3) of the ' 91 Environment Protection Act headed by Shri Bhure La) but there may be some matters pertaining to environment which may be out side the scope of the authority of the Bhure Lal Committee and be required to be dealt with by the concerned Statutory Authority. It is submitted that a clarification to this effect may be made of our order dated January 7, 1998. We are satisfied that this clarification of our earlier order is necessary. Accordingly, our order of January 7, 1998 shall be read with the following modification/addition:

pp. 91–92, margin G

"Jn case there are certain matters which are outside the scope of the authority of Bhure Lal Committee constituted under Section 3(3) of the Environment Protection Act, the same shall be dealt with by the concerned Statutory Authorities. To avoid any ambiguity in this regard. we make it clear that on the constitution of the Committee, headed by Shri Bhure Lal as an authority under Section 3 (3) of the Act, the earlier ad-hoc Committee headed by Mr. Justice Shukla would cease to exit."

p. 92, margin B

Bhure Lal on its constitution.' and before the sentence beginning with the words 'We also place on record our appreciation of the work done by Mr. Justice R K Shukla R.P. Petition is still pending.
