These petitions are coming up for hearing, upon perusing the petition dated 28-12- 2000 sent by the petitioners which is taken up as writ petition No.1798 lof 2001 and upon hearing the arguments of Mr Ch.C.Krishna Reddy, advocate for respondent No.1 in W.P.No.1798 of 2001 and respondent No.6 in writ petition No.23752 of 2000 and Mr S.V.Bhatt, standing counsel for A.P. Pollution Control Board and the Government Pleader for Irrigation and Command Area for the State and Mr P.Ganga Rami Reddy, advocate for the petitioners in writ petition No.23752 of 2000, having been called absent, the Court made the following: ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Devinder Gupta, The Chief Justice) Writ petition No.1798 of 2001 is filed as PIL and the writ petition No.23752 of 2000 is taken up. Question arising for consideration in these writ petitions is about the protection accorded by respondent Nos.1 to 3 for setting up bio-mass power plant of 6 MW in S.No.201/2 and 202/A2 of Navalakula Thotalu and S.No.407/A and 412 of Gudipallipadu to the 6th respondent. It was alleged that by granting permission to set up said power plant, there is a possibility of affecting environment resulting in pollution since the plant was likely to be located near residential colony. We have gone through the counter-affidavit filed by Vemuri Chenchaiah, managing director of 6th respondent stating that the said plant was constructed in May, 2000 and at that time nobody raised objection. Objection has been raised subsequently. Plant was set up after obtaining necessary permissions. Gram Panchayat of Navalakulathota passed a resolution on 11-1-1999 granting no objection to approve the plant. No objection was also accorded by the A.P. Pollution Control Board, Nellore, Director of Factories, Hyderabad and Director of Town and Country Planning, Hyderabad. Even for starting the plant, Gram Panchayat gave no objection on 7-5-1999. After enquiry and as per report of the Divisional Panchayat Officer, Nellore an area of 1 km around the battery limits of the proposed site is declared as non-residential area. Plant was established at a cost of Rs.24.3 crores. A.P. Pollution Control Board gave consent on 3-11-1999 and NEDCAP also accorded permission to start this 6 MW capacity bio-mass based power project. There are other industries also nearby such as Power Grid, M/s Kapadi Straw Board, Indian Oil Solvent Extraction Plant, Tiny Labs, Circar Paper Mills, 30 raw and boiled rice mills. The 6th respondent – unit is 100% pollution free. Copies of no objection certificates have been appended to the counter-affidavit of the 6th respondent. In view of the above, there is hardly any direction which can be issued in these petitions except to direct A.P. Pollution Control Board that in the event of any pollutant being emitted from the 6th respondent unit, appropriate directions in accordance with law will be issued by it to the 6th respondent so as to enable it to take all remedial measures. Writ petitions accordingly stand disposed of. ASSISTANT REGISTRAR 16th June, 2004. nmr // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1 The Prl.
