On October 5, the Supreme Court ruled that no coercive action could be taken against Tata Chemicals for alleged environmental damage in the Gulf of Kutch. A three-judge bench, comprised of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, issued a notice to the company's petition challenging a May 25 Gujarat High Court decision.
The bench requested a response from the Gujarat government by November 2, stating, "Meanwhile, no coercive action shall be taken against the petitioners." Senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, representing Tata Chemicals, argued that the case revolves around environmental degradation and encroachment. On May 25, the Gujarat High Court dismissed Tata Chemicals' appeal against a 2006 order by the district collector, who had denied their claim over land used for wastewater discharge into the sea.
