Highway widening: Ensure display of excavation permit details, Kerala HC tells NHAI
Kochi: High court has directed the NHAI to install metallic boards at regular intervals along the stretch of highway under construction where quarrying activities are being carried out. The directive, issued under the Kerala Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2015, also stipulates that the boards must display the name and address of the permit holder, details of permit, quantity of extraction permitted, area of extraction and types of explosives used. Additionally, each board must include the contact information of the NHAI officer in charge of the project for emergency use by local residents. The bench of Chief Justice Nitin Jamdar and Justice Basant Balaji issued the order while considering a PIL by P Pradeep Kumar of Chelannur panchayat in Kozhikode and 24 other local residents. They alleged that, in connection with the highway widening works between Kasaragod and Thiruvananthapuram, soil was being extracted beyond permissible limits in their area, altering the hill's topography and causing severe environmental damage, including a heightened risk of landslides. They contended that the excavation affected an area inhabited by more than 100 residents, with schools and temples nearby, and had also led to pollution of a nearby river. The petitioners sought a directive to immediately halt the unscientific and excessive excavation of soil and to implement appropriate safety measures, including slope stabilisation, to prevent further harm. It was also pointed out that when hill cutting or excavation is carried out on slopes, residents have no designated authority to contact in case of emergencies. During a hearing held in Feb, the Kozhikode district collector submitted that necessary steps were being taken to ensure that quarrying activities remained within permissible limits and were carried out scientifically. Regarding the concern about the absence of an emergency contact point for local residents, it was suggested that metallic boards with such details be placed at the sites. Accordingly, HC issued the directive, and the NHAI assured it that necessary instructions would be issued to the concessionaire to install the boards.

Kerala varsity registrar's plea against suspension: HC seeks VC's views
Kochi: High court on Thursday sought instructions from the Kerala University vice chancellor (VC) in a petition filed by university registrar K S Anil Kumar, challenging a series of orders issued by VC, including his continued suspension and a directive barring him from entering the varsity campus. The bench of Justice T R Ravi adjourned the matter to Monday. Although the petitioner sought an interim stay on the VC's orders, HC clarified that it would consider the request on Monday. During the hearing, the bench orally observed that the ongoing issues related to the registrar's suspension had been widely televised and resembled a 'cat and mouse' game. Anil Kumar was suspended on July 2 in connection with the 'Bharat Mata' row over a public function conducted at the university's Senate Hall. The petitioner contended that although the university syndicate had revoked his suspension on July 6, the VC issued an order on July 8 stating that the suspension continued, as no lawful order of revocation or modification had been issued by the competent authority. Subsequently, on July 9, the VC issued another order directing that Anil Kumar shall not enter the university campus. On July 10, a further communication was issued to all statutory officers and department heads stating that all files to be submitted to the VC must be routed only through the registrar in charge, and that non-compliance would be viewed seriously. Later, on July 29, the VC issued yet another directive stating that no university files shall be forwarded to the petitioner. Anil Kumar argued that, as per the university statutes, VC does not have the authority to suspend the registrar. He has sought a direction restraining the VC from preventing him from discharging his duties as registrar, and to quash all orders issued against him.

Kerala HC seeks state govt's reply in PIL against Wayanad tunnel project
Kochi: High court on Thursday directed the state govt to file a counter affidavit in a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the Stage I forest clearance and the environmental clearance granted for the Anakkampoyil-Kalladi-Meppadi twin tunnel road project between Kozhikode and Wayanad. A bench of Chief Justice Nitin Jamdar and Justice Basant Balaji issued the directive on the PIL filed by Wayanad Prakrithi Samrakshana Samithi and adjourned the matter to Sept 9. HC also clarified that any step taken by the state govt or other stakeholders towards commencement of the project would be subject to the PIL's outcome. The petitioners contended that Wayanad district is highly prone to landslides and that the proposed project passes through ecologically sensitive areas (ESAs). The tunnel alignment cuts through the ESA villages of Thiruvambady in Kozhikode and Vellarimala in Wayanad, and hence, the environmental appraisal conducted by the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) was inadequate. They argued that the project required appraisal at the central level, and pointed out that neither the Union ministry of environment, forest and climate change (MoEFCC) nor the central govt had conducted any independent environmental assessment. The petitioners also questioned the competence of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) report prepared by the Konkan Railway Corporation, arguing that it is not an accredited agency authorised to prepare such reports. Additionally, the Samithi referred to an office memorandum issued by the central govt, which mandates that work can begin only after obtaining Stage II forest clearance from the Govt of India. Since such clearance has not yet been granted, the petitioners argued that the state govt should not proceed with any construction activities. Opposing the PIL, the govt pleader submitted that another set of litigations involving the same project is already pending before a different division bench. It was further argued that under Section 16(h) of the National Green Tribunal Act, any person aggrieved by the grant of environmental clearance may file an appeal before the National Green Tribunal within 30 days, and therefore, the petitioners should seek remedy through that forum. HC, however, directed the govt pleader to file a detailed reply affidavit and orally observed that it would consider the issues raised by the state once the pleadings are complete.
