Judgement of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Endurance Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Vs Maharashtra Pollution control Board dated 23/11/2015 regarding closure order issued against the Appellant (Endurance Technologies Pvt. Ltd.), Waluj area, Aurangabad.

NGT in its Judgement said that for many years till 2010 or 2013, the samples were collected privately by the industries and the reports were obtained by the industries which were provided to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) and were accepted as if, they are reports of the MPCB. Needless to say "the work of MPCB was practically high-jacked by the industries situated in Waluj for many years". Resultantly, only after the report of MS University, the Water Pollution and contamination of ground water is now brought on surface after long many years, and only now being it is being collected by MPCB for the purpose of getting its ground water analysis reports.
