State of Punjab & Ors. dated 04/03/2014 regarding industries discharging directly or by use of borewells effluents into the underground water, District Kapurthala, Punjab and causing water pollution. The Tribunal noted that after the unit of the Project Proponent (Respondent No 5) was declared as green category, ten years of time was granted to shift which has not been done. Inasmuch as on the face of the record it is clear that in view of the fact that the respondent no. 5 has been running as green category and the permission granted for ten years to shift the unit has been availed and therefore it is to be treated as red category unit.
