32. Case :- WRIT - C No. - 7201 of 2025 Petitioner :- M/S U.S. Enterprises Thru Proprietor Uma Shankar Singh Respondent :- State Of U.P. Thru Prin.Secy. Environment Deptt. Lucknow And Ors. Counsel for Petitioner :- Salil Kumar Srivastava,Rahul Srivastava Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Ashok Kumar Verma Hon'ble Attau Rahman Masoodi,J. Hon'ble Shree Prakash Singh,J. Heard Sri Jaideep Narain Mathur, Senior Advocate, assisted by Sri Mudit Aggarwal, Sri Piyush Pathak, Sri Jalaj Kumar Gupta, Sri Salil Kumar Srivastava, Sri Akbar Ahmad, Sri Kazim Ibrahim and Sri Gaurav Mehrotra, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners in their respective petitions and Sri Ashok Kumar Verma, learned counsel who has put in appearance on behalf of the U.P. Pollution Control Board as well as learned Standing Counsel for the State. This is a bunch of writ petitions which were instituted after reserving the judgement on an identical issue i.e. jurisdiction to impose of environment compensation by U.P. Pollution Control Board. The issue arose previously in Writ-C No.4816 of 2024 Suez India Pvt. Ltd. vs. Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board and Others connected with a bunch of writ petitions, wherein, an interim protection was granted in all the writ petitions awaiting the final judgement which was reserved on 11.03.2025. An interim protection was granted in the present bunch of writ petitions so as to maintain parity of the protection as was available in the bunch of writ petitions in which the judgement was reserved. This Court has already delivered the final judgement on

17.07.2025 allowing all the writ petitions and the operative part of the judgement in paragraph-83 reads as under:- "(83) Accordingly, all the Writ Petitions are allowed. All the orders passed by the State Pollution Control Board imposing environmental compensation upon the petitioners, which are under challenge in the Writ Petitions, are quashed. The State Pollution Control Board will be at liberty to file applications before the NGT for award of compensation. Costs made easy." In these circumstances the issue raised in all these writ petitions is no more res integra. Learned counsel for the petitioners have submitted that the main issue of imposition of environmental compensation by U.P. Pollution Control Board is in the teeth of the judgement rendered by a co-ordinate bench of this Court, therefore, the same benefit may be granted in all the writ petitions which involve essentially the same issue. Sri. A. K. Verma, learned counsel for the U.P. Pollution Control Board as well as Sri Chandrashekhar Pandey, learned counsel who has put in appearance on behalf of the Central Pollution Control Board and learned counsel for the State do not dispute that the issue involved in the present bunch of writ petition is squarely covered under the judgement rendered by a co-ordinate bench of this Court on 17.07.2025. The submission proceeds with the rider that the affected parties have a choice of availing the legal remedy against the final judgement in due course of time. Since the issue has already been decided by this Court recording exhaustive reasons and by appreciating the legal position on the subject, all the writ petitions in the present bunch, as a result thereof are allowed and the impugned orders imposing environment compensation in each of the writ petitions are set aside. The State Pollution Control Board is at liberty to file an application before the N.G.T for award of compensation in accordance with law. No order as to costs. (Shree Prakash Singh,J.)
