After pronouncement of judgement, the learned counsel for National Textile Corporation and the learned counsel for all the Mill Owners apply for ((-3-)) stay of this judgement and order. The learned counsel for the petitioners strongly opposes. We do not find any ground to grant stay of this judgement and order, as all the constructions are in "standstill position" in view of the Stop Work Notices issued by the Mumbai Municipal Corporation and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board. Hence, application for stay is rejected. 2. Issuance of certified copy of the judgement and order is expedited. (DR.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, J.) (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
