This could well be a first in legal history. Karnataka High Court has announced setting up of the Bench to exclusively deal with environmental issues. Thi High Court receives plenty of appeals n issues like mining, water, forest, lakes, pollution etc. The Court can now speedily dispose of such cases as those will directly come under the purview of this special Bench headed by Chief Justice. The cases pertaining to environment in any other circuits will transferred to this Bench.
The notification says that all the writ petitions related to grant of lease/licence of mines and minerals, or govt., private or forest lands which are concerned with the protection and improvement of environment and prevention of hazards to human beings, other living species, and have bearing with pollution control, will now be dealt with this Bench.
