Union of India

Order

In view of the stand taken by the Union Government in its affidavit, it would be necessary for the State of Uttaranchal to indicate an other alignment of a road which would not pass through the National Park.  The counsel for the State of Uttaranchal indicates that he has already got the re-alignment plan of the road and the Government of Uttaranchal would submit the necessary proposal with the map for re-alignment to the appropriate authority in the Government of India.   The Ministry of Environment and Forest is directed to examine the said re-alinment and accord its approval and/or objections, within four weeks thereafter.
