JUSTICE PRAKASH SHRIVASTAVA, CHAIRPERSON\n              HON'BLE DR. A. SENTHIL VEL, EXPERT MEMBER\n\n\n                                  ORDER1.    Earlier OA No. 503/2023 was registered on the basis of the\n\ncommunication sent by some of the persons, including Veerpal alleging\n\noperation of dairy farm in Kosi Kalan in violation of the environmental\n\nnorms and the said OA was disposed of by the Tribunal by order dated\n\n18.08.2023 by observing as under:"2. In view of the facts as contended by the applicant and\n       narrated in the application, we direct that the copy of the\n       application be sent to the State PCB with the direction to monitor the\n       parameters of noise pollution and if there is any violation,\n       necessary action must be initiated in accordance with law.With these observations, Original Application stands disposed of."2.    Now, this original application has been registered on the basis of\n\nthe letter dated 14.10.2023 sent by one Seetaram son of Purushotam\n\nresident of Gopal Bagh, Police Station Kosi Kalan, District Mathura, Uttar\n\nPradesh with the plea that the applicant is running a small dairy at Gopal\n\nBagh, Kosi Kalan adjacent to a drain and some persons of the area are\n\nthreatening and trying to attract money problem and, in that process,\n\nthey send letters to NGT.13.    In the application, it is also stated that the applicant voluntarily in\n\npublic interest and in the interest of society and environment is ready to\n\nshift his business and for that purpose one year time may be granted as\n\nabout a dozen employees are surviving on that business.4.    The order passed in MA No. 503/2023 indicates that the Tribunal\n\nhad only directed the State PCB to monitor the parameters of noise\n\npollution and to take necessary action in accordance with law if there is\n\nany violation. The said order was not directed against any particular\n\ndairy farm.5.    In the present OA, one of the allegations is that the applicants of\n\nearlier OA are threatening and that there are other dairies operating in\n\nthe residential area at Kosi Kalan but action is being taken only against\n\npresent applicant.6.    We are of the view that if the State Authorities are taking any\n\naction, they should not target any particular dairy but uniform action\n\nshould be taken against all the defaulting dairies of concerned area in\n\naccordance with law.7.    The prayer which has been made by the applicant for extension of\n\ntime does not fall within the jurisdiction of this Tribunal as there was no\n\nsuch time limit fixed in the earlier order and no specific direction was\n\nissued in this regard.8.    In the facts of the present case, the applicant is permitted to\n\napproach the concerned Court or Tribunal for such a relief, in accordance\n\nwith law.29.   The OA is accordingly disposed of.Prakash Shrivastava, CP\n\n\n\n                                            Dr. A. Senthil Vel, EM\n\nNovember 02, 2023\nOriginal Application No. 660/2023\nDV3
