Dated this the 24th day of September, 2025
JUDGMENT
These are all cases seeking a declaration that the
environmental clearance of the petitioners stand valid for the
mine/project life as approved by the Mining and Geology Authority.
2. Learned counsel appearing for the SEIAA submits that the
issue raised in these writ petitions are covered by the decision of this
Court in Muhammed C.P. v. Geologist, District Office, Mining &
Geology Department, 2025 KHC OnLine 948 against the petitioners,
the operative portion of which reads as follows:
"85. CONCLUSION:- -
In the light of the above discussion W.P.(C) No.44547/2024 is
W.P.(C) Nos. 39201 of 2022, 24450 of 2022,
28573 of 2022, 31457 of 2022, 31614 of 2022,
32374 of 2022, 35341 of 2022, 35380 of 2022,
35394 of 2022, 35861 of 2022, 38277 of 2022,
39492 of 2022, 39780 of 2022, 40292 of 2022,
40530 of 2022, 40566 of 2022, 40638 of 2022
& 41290 of 2022
2025:KER:71371
allowed. The impugned Ext.P8 notification dated 12/04/2022 -
insofar as it is applicable to mines and mining operations as
provided in clause 9(iv) - is declared ultra vires the Environment
(Protection) Act, the Environment (Protection) Rules, and also, the
EIA notification, 2006 and hence struck down as unconstitutional.
Ext.P9 Office Memorandum is also declared illegal and ultra vires
the Environment (Protection) Act, the Environment (Protection)
Rules and the EIA notification, 2006, insofar as it pertains to mines
and mining operations. Consequently, the 6th respondent will
stand directed, by a writ of mandamus, to take action in accord
with law regarding the quarrying operations of the 9th respondent,
treating Ext.P20 E.C. to have expired.
86. Consequentially, the 66 Writ Petitions filed, claiming the benefit
of Ext.P8 notification and Ext.P9 Office Memorandum, will stand
dismissed. All the interim orders will stand vacated. Interlocutory
applications, if any, pending in all the 67 Writ Petitions will stand
closed. Since the constitutional vires of Exts.P8 and P9 have been
considered suo moto - beyond the scope of the challenge in W.P.
(C) No.44547/2024 - and struck down as unconstitutional,
appropriate action by the 6th respondent shall follow in respect of
the quarries run by the petitioners in the said 66 Writ Petitions,
depending upon the validity of the E.Cs issued to such quarry
project."
This Court has considered a similar matter in W.P.(C)
No.25905 of 2022 and dismissed the same following the judgment in
Muhammed C.P.'s case cited supra. In the light of the above, all
W.P.(C) Nos. 39201 of 2022, 24450 of 2022,
28573 of 2022, 31457 of 2022, 31614 of 2022,
32374 of 2022, 35341 of 2022, 35380 of 2022,
35394 of 2022, 35861 of 2022, 38277 of 2022,
39492 of 2022, 39780 of 2022, 40292 of 2022,
40530 of 2022, 40566 of 2022, 40638 of 2022
& 41290 of 2022
2025:KER:71371
these writ petitions are dismissed making it clear that the declaration
of law in Muhammed C.P.'s case will govern these cases also.
