01. Response on behalf of respondent No.2 has already been filed.

02. Mr. Siddhant Gupta, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner fairly submits that inadvertently he has arrayed the Union of India through Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change Jor Bagh, Lodhi Colony, New Delhi as party respondent in the instant petition when infact Union Territory was required to be impleaded as party through Chairman Pollution Control Committee as party respondent No,1 in the instant petition under whose control the respondent No.2 is performing its duties. The submission seems to be genuine and accordingly the Union Territory of J&K through Chairman Pollution Control Committee is arrayed as party respondent No.1.

03. Registry to update the cause title of the case.

04. Mr. Vishal Bharti, learned Dy AG appeared on behalf of newly added respondent No.1 shall file response within two weeks positively.

05. List on 26.02.2026.

06. Meanwhile, interim direction to continue till next date of hearing before the Bench.
