LOOPHOLE PLUGGED
On May 16, 2025, while hearing a case based on a petition by Vanashakti, a Mumbai-based non-profit, which questioned the validity of development projects initiated without environmental clearance (EC), the Supreme Court struck down two executive instruments issued by the Union environment ministry allowing ex post facto ECs, or retrospective clearance granted after a project had begun construction or operation. The court also barred the Union government from issuing any “new version” of the instruments—a 2017 notification and a 2021 Office Memorandum. Legal experts tell Down To Earth the judgement not only upholds principles of environmental law, but also holds the government accountable for its role in safeguarding the country’s environment.
