Dated this the 26th day of August, 2025
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF
& CC) in the Central Government issued a notification, S.O.
1807(E) dated 12.04.2022 extending the validity period of the
Environmental Clearance (‘E.C.’, for short) for certain
projects and activities. A clarification, in the nature of an
Official Memorandum (‘O.M.’, for short) dated 13.12.2022
followed. As many as 66 Writ Petitions have been filed
seeking the benefit of that notification, read with the above
O.M. However, one Writ Petition, W.P.(C) No.44547/2024, is
filed challenging its constitutional vires. The learned
Amicus appointed leans in favour of that numero uno. It
appears that the petitioners in the genus are in trouble.
