  • The Supreme Court struck down two notifications by the Union Environment Ministry that allowed industries to operate or expand without taking prior environmental clearance.

  • Taking "prior approval" is a key rule under the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification of 2006.

  • The ministry had allowed violators to regularise their projects later by paying fines, through a 2017 notification and a 2021 standard procedure.

  • These changes were made through executive orders, not by amending the EIA law in Parliament.

  • The government justified this by saying earlier attempts to fix such issues started in 2012–13 under the UPA government but were struck down only on technical grounds.

  • It also argued that shutting down running factories would harm jobs and worsen pollution.

  • The Court acknowledged the reasoning but said the principle of “prior” approval cannot be ignored.

  • Companies that got regularised under the 2017 and 2021 rules will not be affected by this ruling.

  • The case highlights the failure of environmental enforcement by regional boards.

  • The judgment sends a message that legal shortcuts in the name of economic growth will not be tolerated and stricter enforcement is needed.
