W.P.(C) No. 838/2019

M.K. RANJITSINH VS UNION OF INDIA

The Three-Judge Bench of the Supreme Court, while emphasizing the critical importance of proactively protecting Great Indian Bustards, overturned the earlier interim order dated 19 April 2021. The Court held that there are no valid grounds for a blanket prohibition on solar power transmission lines across a 99,000 square kilometer area, as converting all lines to underground poses technical challenges. The judgment of the Court was authored by Chief Justice Chandrachud.Recognising the complex interplay between biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation, the Supreme Court highlighted the need for a balanced approach.The Court constituted an expert committee, which was given a broad mandate, including assessing the feasibility of underground lines and effectiveness of bird diverters, and was directed to submit its report by July 31, 2024.
