Supreme Court: In an application seeking issuance of appropriate directions for the State of Rajasthan and particularly the District Administration of Udaipur to take immediate steps to prevent air pollution in Udaipur city, the Division Bench of A.S. Bopanna and M.M. Sundresh, JJ. clarified that the previous orders for mitigating air and noise pollution were applicable to all the States including the State of Rajasthan, not only restricted to the festive season but thereafter as well.
The Court pointed out that steps should be taken to prevent both the air as well as the noise pollution. The Court opined that no specific orders were necessary at the given time because in the course of dealing with the instant petition, the Court had passed several orders indicating the steps for minimizing and avoiding air and noise pollution.
The Court made it clear that the said orders bound every State in India including the State of Rajasthan, suggesting the authorities to take note of the same and take all necessary steps to minimize the air and noise pollution, not only during festive season but thereafter as well.
