Bombay HC Temporarily Protects Firm Of MLA Belonging To Sharad Pawar Faction Against Closure Order By Maharashtra Pollution Control Board

Live Law  

The Bombay High Court on Friday granted temporary relief to NCP MLA Rohit Pawar and directed Maharashtra Pollution Control Board to not effect till October 6, a closure order issued against Baramati Agro Ltd, a firm controlled by him. The MPCB order was issued on Wednesday and served early on Thursday seeking closure of the unit within 72 hours. Baramati Agro challenged the order on the ground that the board’s decision was passed under political influence to “pressurize” Rohit as he was part of Sharad Pawar’s party. The firm had claimed that the FIR was based on BJP MLC Ram Shinde's complaint who had lost to Rohit Pawar in the 2019 Assembly elections.
