Supreme Court Strikes Down Retrospective Environmental Clearances

Imagine a company starts a project without permission, like building a factory without a permit.

The government then tries to give them permission after the fact, saying everything is okay.

The Supreme Court said, 'No way!'

They decided that everyone has the right to a clean environment, and the government can't let companies break the rules.

This is like saying you can't get away with something illegal just because you ask for permission later.

The court felt this was unfair to people and bad for the environment, so they stopped the government from doing it.
