NGT had contended that stone quarries should be atleast 200 mts away from residential areas
The Kerala High Court on Monday set aside the order of the National Greens Tribunal (NGT) that the stone quarries should maintain a minimum distance of 200 metres from residential areas.
Justice P.B. Suresh Kumar passed the verdict while partly allowing a batch of writ petitions filed by the State government and some quarry operators challenging the NGT’s order.
The court also directed the NGT to dispose of an application on which it had passed the order after giving due notice to those who are affected by the prescription of the stringent distance criteria.
