SC refuses to interfere with Madras HC order quashing notices against Sadhguru's Isha Foundation

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court on Friday reportedly refused to interfere in the Madras high court’s 2022 order quashing a show cause notice issued to Isha Foundation, founded by spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, over alleged unauthorised construction. The show cause notice was issued to Isha Foundation on November 19, 2021, for carrying out construction work at Velliangiri Hills, Coimbatore, between 2006 and 2014 without obtaining mandatory environmental clearance. The foundation challenged the notice before the Madras high court, which ruled in its favour in December 2022, recognising the foundation as an “educational institution” and thus exempt from environmental clearance norms. In Friday's order, a bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh said that no coercive action will be taken against the yoga and meditation centre of the foundation, according to news agency PTI.
