Order of the Supreme Court of India in the matter of M/S Shree Ganesh Stone Crusher & Others Vs The State of Haryana & Others dated 02/11/2020. The matter relates to an interim order passed by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), directing prosecution and compensation proceedings to be initiated for damaging the environment against the stone crushers like Shree Ganesh Stone Crusher in Haryana.

The Supreme Court (SC) set aside the NGT order and remanded the matter to the NGT - to dispose of the case as soon as possible (preferably within four weeks). The SC said that the stone crushers should be "heard by the NGT" and it would be open to all the parties to argue all points before the NGT.
