Supreme Court rejects MP's challenge to retrospective environmental clearances, upholding prior ruling.
The Supreme Court on February 12, 2026, rejected a petition by Congress MP Jairam Ramesh challenging retrospective environmental clearances, calling the move legally untenable and potentially for media attention.
A bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant ruled that the issue had already been settled by a prior three-judge decision in November 2025, which upheld the government’s authority to grant such clearances with penalties.
The court emphasized that legal challenges must follow proper procedures, not indirect routes, and warned of exemplary costs.
Ramesh’s counsel withdrew the plea, with permission to pursue other legal remedies.
The ruling reaffirmed the validity of the 2021 office memorandum implementing the earlier judgment.
