Sweet factory causing pollution can I complain about the same?


16-Jan-2023 (In Civil Law)

A sweet factory has grown up in my adjacent plot of land. They are polluting the locality by discharging their leftover milk products and sugar syrups in the backyard which becomes the breeding place for flies and other organisms which pose a threat to health in the adjacent area. I had once written an e-mail to the deputy commissioner but no action till date. I have no idea whether the sweet factory is a legal or illegal establishment in this area. Since it is violating the fundamental right to clean and healthy environment of a citizen, i want to stand against it. Please guide me.

Hi, I have have gone through your query and I am of the opinion complaining to Deputy commissioner would not help in resolving the problem, instead you should approach the national green tribunal in this regard as it is the apex body qua the pollution matters. As per the directions of the National green tribunal no company is allowed to discharge its effluent outside its premises. These days the concept of zero liquid discharge in various industries have been implemented, so the concern sugar/ Sweet company is discharging its untreated discharge then approaching National green tribunal is the best option. I have been doing these pollutions matters before National Green tribunal for half a decade and I can help you in this regard.feel free to contact. Thanks.

You can file a suit against them in National green tribunal as well after giving a Notice to the factory. in case they stop spilling leftover and scrap by the notice, it is O.K. but otherwise you can get it removed and stop their such activities through court.

While you always have an option to approach the high Court and seek enforcement of your right to a clean and hygienic environment by filing a writ petition, you can also file criminal case against the company for being negligent in its conduct. Further you can seek remedy under the environment protection act. If you want to proceed with this I suggest that we meet and discuss it in detail and chalk out a plan for you
