<h1>Supreme Court Case on Hazardous Waste Imports from 1995 Still Unresolved; Status Quo Maintained by Environment Ministry.</h1> A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) concerning the import of hazardous waste into India, filed in 1995 by an environmental research foundation against the Union of India, remains unresolved in the Supreme Court. The Ministry of Environment and Forests has advised maintaining the status quo on the disposal of hazardous waste at ports and other locations until a final court decision is reached. The Central Board of Excise & Customs, in consultation with the Ministry, has determined that adjudication and confiscation proceedings for such waste should be paused, as unresolved issues could transfer ownership and responsibility to the government.
