In Brief
This case arose from a hazardous gas leak at an industrial facility operated by LG Polymers India Private Limited. The National Green Tribunal initially adjudicated the matter, prompting a civil appeal to the Supreme Court. Rather than immediately determining liability, the Court ordered the State Government to establish a fact-finding committee to investigate the gas leak's causes and verify compliance with safety protocols. The Court reserved final judgment pending the committee's findings, allowing both parties scope to present contentions in subsequent hearings.
