M.C. Mehta & Anr. Etc vs Union Of India & Ors. Etc on 17 February, 1986
In M.C. Mehta v. Union of India & Others AIR 1988 SC
1037, this court observed that the effluent discharged in
river Ganga from a tannery is ten times noxious when compared
with the domestic sewage water which flows into the river from
any urban area on its banks. The court further observed that
the financial capacity of the tanneries should be considered
as irrelevant without requiring them to establish primary
treatment plants. Just like an industry which cannot pay
minimum wages to its workers cannot be allowed to exist, a
tannery which cannot set up a primary treatment plant cannot
be permitted to continue to be in existence for the adverse
effect on the public at large.
