https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171321 The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 did not impliedly repeal Section 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Section 133 remains a preventive summary remedy for existing public nuisance and imminent danger, while the environmental statutes operate in a different field through pollution control, curative measures, and penalties. The presumption against implied repeal applies unless the later law is so inconsistent with the earlier provision, or so exhaustive of the same field, that coexistence is impossible. The Magistrate therefore retained jurisdiction to act where public nuisance from industrial pollution is made out. en-us Tue, 19 Aug 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 17 Jun 2025 17:20:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171321 The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 did not impliedly repeal Section 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
