Step 1: Open our tracker and copy any case summary to your clipboard. Here is a sample summary:
"Ashish Shaunik v. State of Himachal Pradesh (4th June, 2021) (Stone Crushing proximate to rivers and protected areas):
This case concerns the operation of stone crusher units in village Banala, District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. According to the petitioner, the units were operating in close proximity to the Tirthan river, Great Himalayan National Park, Tirthan Sanctuary, the local government school, hospital, and reservoir of Larji Dam. The issue of a one time exemption granted to stone crushers affiliated with hydroelectric projects was also raised. This exemption was interpreted by the Government of Himachal Pradesh to be of a general nature. The Tribunal clarified that the exemption granted was limited to a specific instance of crusher units working only for the purpose of constructing the hydropower project using muck generated in the process of tunneling.
Citing the precautionary principle, the Tribunal directed the stone crusher owner to prepare an action plan to mitigate the harm already caused by the units. The Tribunal directed that this plan be approved by the Himachal Pollution Control Board (“PCB”), and implemented within two months. The Tribunal also emphasized that in light of the precautionary principle, no exemption should be permitted from existing environmental norms."
