As per order dated 15.12.2021, this Tribunal had extracted the directions given\n\n   by this Tribunal by judgment dated 25.05.2021 and adjourned the case to\n\n   20.01.2022 for filing the compliance report by the Tamil Nadu Small Industries\n\n   Development Corporation (SIDCO) and also Tamil Nadu Pollution Control\n\n   Board (TNPCB) as directed in the Judgment. On 20.01.2022, the matter was\n\n   adjourned to 02.02.2022 by notification. On 02.02.2022 at the request of the\n\n   officials the same has been adjourned to today for filing the compliance report.2. The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) has filed a report signed\n\n   by the officer on 01.02.2022, e-filed on 02.02.2022 which reads as follows:-2343. The Tamil Nadu Small Industries Development Corporation (SIDCO) also\n\n  filed a status report dated 14.02.2022 along with certain photographs, e-filed on\n\n  15.02.2022 which reads as follows:-56784. It is seen from the report submitted by the Tamil Nadu Small Industries\n\n   Development Corporation (SIDCO) that they will be completing the Treatment\n\n   Plant by March 2022.5. It is seen from the report submitted by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board\n\n   (TNPCB) almost reiterating what is stated by the 4th respondent and also stated\n\n   that some of the units which are having Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) are\n\n   utilising the treated water for their gardening in their premises and others have\n\n   provided either septic tank followed soak pit or individual Sewage Treatment\n\n   Plant (STP). So according to their report at present there is no untreated\n\n   sewage is being let into the drain which ultimately reaches the lake.96. However, we think that this can be posted to first week of April, so that the\n\n     completion and the satisfactory functioning of the Sewage Treatment Plant can\n\n     be monitored by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board and they can submit\n\n     the report.7. The Tamil Nadu Small Industries Development Corporation (SIDCO) as well\n\n     as the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) are directed to file their\n\n     further action taken and progress report on or before 08.04.2022 by e-filing in\n\n     the form of searchable PDF/OCR Supportable PDF and not in the form of\n\n     Image PDF along with necessary hardcopies to be produced as per rules.8. The Registry is directed to communicate this order to the official respondents\n\n    especially to the Managing Director, Tamil Nadu Small Industries Development\n\n    Corporation (SIDCO), Chennai, Chairman, Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board\n\n    for their information and compliance of the directions.9.
