As for projects cleared by FAC after September 15, 2006, these shall go back to FAC “for their views”. The CJI ordered that projects in “parks and sanctuaries” which were accorded sanction by the court “need not come back to the court.” And that the Environment Ministry could grant due sanction.
Amicus curiae, senior counsel Harish Salve, opposed the constitution of FAC with three non-official members. “Let it be constituted without those three members,” he told the Bench, which, however, did not accept his plea.
