Grievance raised in the present petition is that the State Authority as well as Pollution Control Board are permitting the private respondents to act in contravention of law by operating crusher units which has effect of adversely affecting the environmental concerns. It is also submitted that in response to a legal notice, the Authorities themselves have acknowledged the violations done by the private respondents but despite an assurance that they will take action, no concrete steps have been taken. Learned State counsel contends that the matter shall be examined by the Pollution Control Board and appropriate decision will be taken, in accordance with law.
