II. [2] I.A. NO. 252192 OF 2025 (CEC REPORT NO. 50 of 2025):
List on 11.11.2025.
III. [3] I.A. NOS. 216122, 216120 & 216123 OF 2025 WITH I.A. NOS. 253153 & 253154 OF 2025:
1. The applicant – Hilton Stones and Aggregates LLP has filed IA No. 216122/2025 with the following prayer:
“a. Permit the Applicant firm to operate its quarry located at a distance of 6.79 km from the Peechi-Vazhani Wildlife Sanctuary in compliance with the applicable regulatory framework.”
2. The application is necessitated since the 41 W.P. (C) No. 202/1995 applicant’s quarry site is situated within an area of 10 km from the boundary of Peechi-Vazhani Wildlife Sanctuary.
3. This Court vide its judgment dated 26.04.2023 has imposed restrictions that no mining activity would be carried out within the ESZ area and in any case within an area of 1 km from the boundary of protected wildlife sanctuary.
4. The applicant’s quarry is situated at a distance of 6.79 km from the Peechi-Vazhani Wildlife Sanctuary and 3.4 km from the ESZ boundary.
5. In that view of the matter, IA No. 216122/2025 is allowed in terms of prayer clause ‘a’.
6. IA Nos. 216120/2025 & 216123/2025 stands disposed of accordingly.
IV. [5] I. A. NOS. 153500 & 153501 OF 2024 WITH I.A. NO. 153502 OF 2024 AND I.A. NO. 214893 OF 2025 AND I.A. NOS. 252324 & 252325 OF 2025:
1. In response to the order passed by this Court dated 17.09.2025, Mr. Avinash Kumar, presently occupying the office of Chief Secretary, State of Jharkhand is personally present in the Court.
2. We have extensively heard Shri Kapil Sibal, learned senior counsel appearing for the State of Jharkhand and Shri K. Parameshwar, learned Amicus 42 W.P. (C) No. 202/1995 Curiae.
3. Shri Sibal, submits that since inception, the proposal with regard to an area of 31,468.25 hectares for declaration as a wildlife sanctuary has been under consideration. However, confusion arose on account of a communication addressed by the Wildlife Institute of India (for short “WII”), indicating an area of 57,519.41 hectares. It is stated that on the basis of the said letter, a statement came to be made before this Court in an affidavit. However, the WII itself by a subsequent communication stated that the earlier letter was only a part of internal communication and the said letter was not authenticated.
4. It is, therefore, submitted that in view of this situation a statement came to be made.
5. He further submitted that there is no intention to run away from the earlier proposal of declaration of Saranda Wildlife Sanctuary.
6. From the affidavit dated 22.07.2025 sworn by Mr. Aviroop Sinha, Divisional Forest Officer, Saranda Forest Division, Chaibasa, Government of Jharkhand, we find that, at least, an area admeasuring 31,468.25 hectares, has already been notified as game sanctuary 43 W.P. (C) No. 202/1995 vide Notification No. 1168 F dated 16.02.1968. As such, there should be no difficulty in notifying the said area as a Wildlife Sanctuary. The affidavit clearly states that in 126 compartments situated in the aforesaid area, neither any kind of mining excavation operations nor any diversion of Forest Land for Mining purpose has been undertaken. It is categorically stated that there are no operational mines inside the 126 compartments of the aforestated area.
7. In that view of the matter, we see no impediment in the State proceeding to notify the aforesaid area of 31,468.25 hectares as a Wildlife Sanctuary, which has already been notified vide Notification dated 16.02.1968.
8. Insofar as the other question of including any additional area is concerned, the same is a matter to be considered by the State Government in consultation with the State Wildlife Board.
9. We had issued notice to the Chief Secretary, noticing that the State of Jharkhand was adopting a topsy-turvy approach and on every date and the stand was changed. Earlier though the proposal was sent by 44 W.P. (C) No. 202/1995 the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest Wildlife (PCCF-WL)-cum-Chief Wildlife Warden (CMLW), Jharkhand to the State Government, the State Government again sent it back to the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (HoFF) for reconsideration.
10. As such, we had directed the Secretary, Department of Forest, Environment and Climate Change, State of Jhakharnad to remain personally present before this Court vide our order dated 16.04.2025.
11. Accordingly, on 29.04.2025, the Secretary, Department of Forest, Environment and Climate Change, State of Jhakharnad was present before this Court.
The impression conveyed was that the State proposed to notify an area of 57,519.41 hectares as a Wildlife Sanctuary. The only difficulty indicated was that certain communications from the WII were not received. This Court had, therefore, requested the WII to furnish their comments within a stipulated period.
12. As such, a clear impression was given to the Court that the State Government intended to notify an area of 57,519.41 hectares as a Wildlife Sanctuary.
13. Subsequently, a supplementary affidavit came to be filed on 22.07.2025 stating therein that a 45 W.P. (C) No. 202/1995 Committee had been constituted to conduct a comprehensive review of the boundary/area determination of the proposed sanctuary, keeping in view the interest of the State and in compliance with the orders of this Court.
14. In the meantime, an application (I.A. No. 214893 of 2025) also came up for consideration before this Court filed by one Electrosteel Castings Ltd. seeking directions to keep the proposal for notification of the Saranda Wildlife Sanctuary in abeyance.
15. In this background, we were not unjustified in gathering an impression that the State was taking the Court for a ride. As such, we had directed the Chief Secretary to remain present in the Court today. We had further clarified that if the order dated 29.04.2025 passed by this Court was complied with, the presence of the Chief Secretary shall stand dispensed with.
16. At least, insofar as an area of 31,468.25 is concerned, there appears to be no impediment to the State notifying the said area as a Wildlife Sanctuary.
17. In view of the order passed by this Court on 17.09.2025, we could have issued a mandamus to that effect today itself inasmuch as the said area is very 46 W.P. (C) No. 202/1995 well identified.
18. However, Shri Sibal makes a statement that the State Government shall file an undertaking before this Court within a period of one week from today to the effect that the area of 31,468.25 hectares will be notified as a Wildlife Sanctuary.
19. If the State proposes to include any additional area to the Wildlife Sanctuary, it shall be at liberty to do so.
20. List these applications on 15.10.2025. V. [4] I.A. NOS. 251558, 252948 & 252949 OF 2025
1. Mr. Tushar Mehta, learned Solicitor General appearing for the applicant(s) states that the order passed in IA Nos. 153500 and 153501 of 2024 would adversely effect the mining activities of the Steel Authority of India Ltd, i.e. the present applicant. It is submitted that the iron ore manufactured from the State mines is being utilized for various projects of national importance. He, therefore, submits that the Court may protect the interest of such mines.
2. Firstly, we do not find this apprehension to be correct, inasmuch the Divisional Forest Officer, 47 W.P. (C) No. 202/1995 Saranda Forest Division, Chaibasa, Government of Jharkhand in his affidavit dated 22.07.2025 had categorically stated that there is no mining activity in the 126 compartments comprising the area of 31,468.25 hectares.
3. Be that as it may, we clarify that the declaration of said area as a Wildlife Sanctuary shall not affect any mining activity in respect of valid and subsisting mining leases, where such leases have already been granted and are operational.
4. Needless to state that the State shall not permit any additional mines in the said area which will be affected by the said Notification.
5. List these applications on 15.10.2025. VI. [6] I.A. NO. 285881 OF 2024 WITH I.A. NO. 285829, 285830 OF 2024 AND I.A. NO. 300603 OF 2024:
1. The issue pertains to notifying ESZ for Corbett Tiger Reserve and Rajaji National Park.
2. Mr. Jatinder Kumar Sethi, learned D.A.G. appearing for the State of Uttarakhand states that the draft notification was sent to the MoEF&CC, however, certain issues were flagged by the NTCA and 48 W.P. (C) No. 202/1995 WII. He submits that after taking those issues into consideration, revised draft has already been sent to the MoEF&CC for final consideration.
3. We would appreciate that rather than communications being exchanged, it would be appropriate that the MoEF&CC convenes a meeting with the representatives of the state of Uttarakhand, NTCA and WII and sorts out the issues. The same shall be done within a period of two weeks. We grant time till 10.11.2025 for issuing a final draft ESZ notification.
4. We clarify that hereinafter, the MoEF&CC, the NTCA, WII and State of Uttarakhand, rather than exchanging communications, would sit on a table and thrash out all the issues and come out with a final draft notification.
5. List on 11.11.2025.
VII. [7] I.A. NO. 117204 OF 2024 (CEC REPORT NO. 5 OF 2024-Status Report in Delhi Ridge)AND [7A] ISSUE REGARDING ORDER DATED 16.04.2025 PASSED IN W.P. (C)NO. 4677 OF 1985 List on 15.10.2025.
VIII. [8] I.A. NO. 253621 OF 2025 (CEC REPORT NO. 51 OF 2025):
