These petitions challenge more or less similar closure orders of the Petitioners ' units passed by Delhi Pollution Cgntrol Committee ( 'DPCC ') under Section 31 (A) of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 ( 'Air Act '). 2. According to the DPCC these Petitioners who have been carrying on the activity of foundry for a long time are not complying with the pollution control noruns. Further these foundry units are under the prohibited category of activities as per the Master Plan for Delhi 2021. Inspections were carried out but, admittedly, none of the Petitioners was served with a copy of the a ( wP (civil) 7780/2070 & batch Page 4 of 6 --1 respective inspection report on the basis of which the impugned cl was passed. 3. In the considered view of this Court, on this short ground, that none of these Petitioners was given a copy of the inspection report, which formed the basis of the impugned direction for closure, the direction for closure cannot be sustained in law and deserves to be set aside. It is ordered accordingly. ' 4. The next question that arises is of the consequential order that has to be passed. Keeping in light similar orders passed by this Court on 19th October 20IO in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 6975 of 2010 (l{hite Machines v..DPCC) and 25th October 2OI0 in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 7l07l2OIO (Anupam Cttsting and Engineering Works v. DPCC), this Court considers it appropriate to direct as under: (i) the DPCC will treat the impugled orders in each of the cases be treated as a show cause notice issued to each of the Petitioners by the DPCC. (ii) It will be open to the DPCC to undertake an inspection of the Petitioners ' premises within ten days from today without any prior intirnation to the Petitioners. Any further inspection report will be got signed by each of Petitioners and a copy furnished to each of them and an order will thereafter be passed after giving the Petitioners an opporlunity of being heard. "a \ --/ osure order f wP (CiviU 7780/2070 & batch Page 5 of 6 ! (iii) In the meanwhile, it will be open to each of Petitioneis to file objections to the inspection report, handed over to learned counsel for Petitioners in Court today, within one week. (iv) Any consequential order that may be passed by the DPCC pursuant to the above directions will be communicated to each of Petitioners within ten days after it is passed. (u) If aggrieved by such order, it will be open to each of the Petitioners to seek such remedies as provided under the Air Act. 5. It may be recorded at this stage that learned counsel for the Petitioners on instructions stated that none of Petitioners will aarry on any activity in their respective foundries till 31" December 2010 or till they receive the order of the DPCC passed in terms of this order, whichever is earlier. a 6. The writ petitions are disposed of with the above directions. The pending applications are also disposed of. 7. Order be given dasti.
