Comments
Principle of interpretation of a statute One may state the accepted
principle of interpretation of a statute that every legislation is prima facie prospective
unless it is expressly or by necessary implication made to have retrospective
operation. The question whether a statute operates retrospectively or prospectively is
one of legislative intent. If the terms of the statute are clear or unambiguous and it is
manifest that the legislature intended the Act to operate retrospectively,
unquestionably it must be so construed. If, however the terms of a statute do not of
themselves, make an intention certain or clear, it should be presumed to operate
prospectively. An act is retrospective. If it takes away or impairs any vested right
acquired under an existing law or creates a new liability or obligation in respect of
transactions already past or creates a new obligation or liability in respect of post
transactions.
Rules of interpretation It is well-known rule of construction that it is not
for the Court to make the law and the law should be applied even if the law does not
accord with the notions of right and wrong of the Court. These are no doubt correct
rules of interpretation.

Comment
Person The word person has been used to make it clear that in order to
exercise the powers of a Controller under the Act, the statutory functionary has to be
duly appointed by the Government and that he is persona designata or designated
person.
Opportunity of hearing to the occupier No doubt, the proviso to sub-rule
(3-b) of rule 4 provides for an opportunity of hearing to the occupier, but it has to be
read alongwith sub-rule (3-b) of which it is a part. The said sub-rule provides that the
provision is applicable in a case where the notice is issued to an officer or an
authority other than an occupier of the industry, operation or process. In the instant
case the notice was issued to the managing partner of the firm. Hence, there was no
necessity to send a copy of proposed direction to the occupier and sub-rule (3-b) of
the rule 4 was not attracted in the case.
5. Prohibition and restriction on the location of industries and the
carrying on of processes and operations in different areas (1) The Central
Government may take into consideration the following factors while prohibiting or
restricting the location of industries and carrying on of processes and operations in
different areas

Standards for quality of environment in its various aspects laid

down for an area.
(ii)
The maximum allowable limits of concentration of various

environment pollutants (including noise) for an area.
(iii)
The likely emission or discharge of environmental pollutants from

an industry, process or operation proposed to be prohibited or
restricted.
(iv)
The topographic and climatic features of an area.
(v)
The biological diversity of the area which, in the opinion of the

Central Government needs to be preserved.
(vi)
Environmentally compatible land use.
(vii)
Net adverse environmental impact likely to be caused by an

industry, process or operation proposed to be prohibited or
restricted.
(viii)
Proximity to a protected area under the Ancient Monuments and

Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958, or a sancturary,
National Park, game reserve or closed area notified as such under
the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, or places protected under any
treaty, agreement or convention with International conference,
association or other body.
(ix)
Proximity to human settlements.
(x)
Any other factors as may be considered by the Central Government

to be relevant to the protection of the environment in an area.
(2) While prohibiting or restricting the location of industries and carrying on

of
processes and operations in an area, the Central Government shall follow the
procedure hereinafter laid down.
(3) (a) Whenever it appears to the Central Government that it is expedient to
impose prohibition or restrictions on the location of an industry or the carrying on of
processes and operations in an area, it may, by notification in the Official Gazette and
in such other manner as the Central Government may deem necessary
from time to time, give notice of its intention to do so.
(b) Every notification under Cl. (a) shall give a brief description of the area,
the
industries, operations, processes in that area about which such notification pertains
and also specify the reasons for the imposition of prohibition or restrictions on the

Prohibition of mining operations Directions issued by the Supreme
Court
As on today, the situation is that the mining activity in the listed mines (according to
the Rajasthan Government, it has already stopped all mining activities in 54 mines
specified in its application) is illegal and has to stop. May be that this will have the
effect of bringing to halt the activity involving a good amount of capital and a large
number of workers. But in view of the inherent illegality attaching to them, the Court
has no option but to close them. They cannot be permitted to operate. If and when the
Central Government recommends the plea of the State government and any of the
areas already declared as protected forest are deleted with leave of the Supreme
Court, can the mining activity go on in these areas. It is accordingly directed that all
mining activity in the mines mentioned in Appendix-A to the report of Sri Justice
M.L. Jain Committee shall stop forthwith. Similarly, the mining activity in the mines
mentioned Appendix-B to the said report shall also stop forthwith in so far as they
fall within the protected forest areas. The plea of the Rajasthan Government and of
the mine owners shall be considered by Department of Forest and Environment of
India and a report submitted to the Supreme Court within three months. Now coming
to the mines located outside the protected forest areas but within the tiger reserve. It
cannot be said that the very grant of mining lease/licence is itself illegal in their case
unless, of course, such mining lease/licence or its renewal has been granted on or
after May 7, 1992 (particulars in this behalf are not made available to the Court). The
illegality has attached to these mines by virtue of the notification issued by the
Central Government under Sec. 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act on May 7,
1992. In the circumstances, it is directed that the mining activity in the mines situated
outside the protected forest areas but within the tiger reserve may continue for a
period of four months. Within this period it shall be open to the concerned mineowners to approach the Department of Forest and Environment, Government of India
for permission to continue their mining operations. They can continue the mining
operations in these mines only if the Central Government permits them and subject to
the orders of the Central Government in that behalf. If no permission is obtained
from the Central Government within the said period o four months, the mining
activity in the entire area declared as tiger reserve shall stop and cease on the expiry
of four months.
Restrictions and prohibitions regards constructions or setting up
industries In the instant case it was held that all the restrictions and prohibitions
regarding construction and setting up of industries or for any other purpose contained
in the notification, dated 19th February, 1991 issued by Ministry of Environment and
Forest, Government of India under Cl. (d) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the
Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 shall be meticulously followed by all the
concerned States. The activities which have been declared as prohibited within the
Coastal Regulations Zone shall not be undertaken by any of the respondent-states.
The regulations of permissible activities shall also be meticulously followed. The
restrictions imposed by the Coastal Areas Classification and Development
Regulations contained in Annexure 1 to the notification shall also be strictly followed
by the respondent State.
Penal Provision Penal Provision is to be construed rigidly, and strictly.

ANNEXURE 1
(For the purposes of Parts A, B and C)
The state board shall follow the following guidelines in enforcing the standards
specified under Sch. VI:
1. The waste waters gases are to be treated with the best available technology
[BAT)] in order to achieve the prescribed standards.
2. The industries need to be encouraged for recycling and reuse of waste
materials as far as practicable in order to minimize the discharge of wastes
into the environment.
3. The industries are to be encouraged for recovery of biogas, energy and
reusable materials.
4. While permitting the discharge of effluents and emissions into the
environment, State boards have to take into account the assimilative
capacities of the receiving bodies, especially water bodies so that quality of
the intended use of the receiving water is not affected. Where such quality is
likely to be affected, discharged should not be allowed into water bodies.
5. The Central and State boards shall put emphasis in the implementation if
clean technologies by the industries in order to increase fuel efficiency and
reduce the generation of environmental pollutants.
6. All efforts should be made to remove color and unpleasant odour as far as
practicable.
7. The limit standards mentioned in this Scheduled [shall also apply to all other
[Effluents] discharged such as] mining and mineral processing activites and
sewage.
8. The limits given for the total concentration of mercury in the final effluent of
caustic soda industry is for the combined effluent from (a) Cell house (b),
Brine Plant, (c) Chlorine handling, (d) Hydrogen handling, and (e)
Hydrochloric acid plant.
9. ***]
10. In case of fertilizer industry the limits in respect of chromium and [[fluoride]
shall be complied with at the outlet of chromium and fluoride removals units
respectively.
11. In case of pesticides:
(a) The limits should be compiled with at the end if the treatment plant
before dilution.
(b) Bio-essay test should be carried out with the available species of fish
in the receiving water, the COD limit to be specified in the conditions
should be correlated with the BOD limits.
(c) In case metabolites and isomers of the pesticides in the given list are
found in significant concentrations, standards should be prescribed for
these also in the same concentration as the individuals pesticides.
(d) Industries required to analyse pesticides in waste water by advanced
analytical methods such as GLC/HPLC.
[[14. The chemical oxygen demand [COD] concentration in a treated
effluent, if observed to be persistently greater than 250mg./1 before
disposal to any receiving body (public sewer, land for irrigation, inland
surface water and marine coastal areas), such as industrial units are
required to identify chemicals causing the same. In cases these are found
to be toxic as defined in the Sch. I of the Hazardous Wastes (Management
and handling) Rules 1989, the State Board in such cases shall direct the
industries to install tertiary treatment stipulating time limit.
(15) Standards specified in Part A of Sch.VI for discharge of effluents into the
public sewer shall be applicable only if such sewer leads to a secondary
treatment including biological treatment system, otherwise the discharge
into sewers shall be treated discharged into inlands surface waters.]
ANNEXURE II
(For the purposes of Part-D)
1. The State Boards shall follow the following guidelines in enforcing the
standards specified under Sch.VI. (a) In case of cement plants, the total dust (from all sections) shall be with
in 400 mg [Nm3] for the plants up to 200t/d and more than 200t/d
capacities respectively.
(b) In respect of calcinations process (e.g. Aluminium plants), Kilns and
Step Grate Bagasse-fired-Boilers, Particular matter (PM) emissions
shall be within 250mg[Nm3].
(c) In case of thermal power plants commissioned prior 1-1-1982 and
having generation capacity less than 62.5 MW, the PM emission shall
be within 350mg2[Nm3].

the PM emission shall be 500mg[Nm3].
(e) In case of horse shoe/Pulsating Grate and Spreader Stroker Bagassefired-Boilers, the PM emission shall be within 500[12% CD2] and
800(12% CO2) mg. [Nm3] respectively. In respect of these boilers, if
more than attached to a single stack, the emission standard shall be
fixed, based in added capacity of all boilers connected with the stack.
(f) In case of asbestos dust, the same shall not exceed 2mg. [Nm3].
(g) In case of the urea plants commissioned after 1-1-1982, coke ovens
and lead glass units, the PM emission shall be with in 50mg[Nm3].
(h) In case of small boilers of capacity less than 2tons/hr. and between 2
to5 tons/mg the PM emissions shall be within 1600 and 1200 mg.
[Nm3]

[Nm] shall be allowed during oxygen lancing.
(j) In case of stone crushing units. The suspended PM contribution value

at a distance of 40 maters from a controlled, Isolated as well as from a
unit located in cluster should be less than 600 mg [Nm] [***] . These
units must also adopt the following pollution control measures:
(i) Dust containment cum-suppression system for the equipment:
(ii) construction of wind braking walls;
(iii) Construction of the metalled roads within the premises;
(iv) regular clearing and the wetting of the ground within the
premises;
(v) Growing of a green belt along the periphery.
(k) In case of ceramics industry, for the other source of pollution, such as
basic raw material and processing operations, heat recovery dryers,
mechanical finishing operation, all possible preventive measures
should be taken to control PM emissions as far as practicable.
2. The total fluoride emission in respect of glass and Phosphatic Fertilizers shall not
exceed 5 mg/Nm and 25 mg/Nm respectively.
3. In case of cooper, lead and zinc smelting ,the Off-gases may, as far as possible , be
utilized for manufacturing Sulphuric Acid.]

[4. In case of cupolas (Foundries) having capacity (melting rate) less than 3
tonne/hour., the particulate matter emission shall be within 450 mg/nm . in these
cases it is essential that stack is constructed over the cupola beyond the charging door
and the emissions are directed through the stack, which should be at least six times
the diameter of cupola. In respect of Arc Furnace and Induction Furnaces, provision
has to be made for collecting the fumes before discharging the emissions through the
stack.
