Madhya Pradesh High Court Defers Hearing On Union Carbide Waste Disposal, Next Date After Six Weeks |
Bhopal/Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh High Court has deferred the hearing on a petition challenging the state govt’s decision to incinerate Union Carbide’s hazardous waste in Pithampur. The matter will now be heard after six weeks. On Monday, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Suresh Kumar Kait and Justice Vivek Jain heard arguments from both sides before scheduling the next hearing.
The petition was originally filed by the MGM Alumni Association, Indore, in the Indore bench of the High Court, but the case has since been transferred to the Jabalpur bench.
Advocate Abhinav Dhanotkar, representing the petitioner, argued that the government took this unilateral decision without consulting the residents of Indore and Pithampur.
