Such a guarantee is compensatory rather than penal when it serves prevention, control and abatement of pollution, and it may be invoked on objective material showing persistent non-compliance. Where the undertaking was given voluntarily and without protest, later challenge to the condition is weakened by acquiescence. On the stated facts, the guarantee was validly invoked according to its terms and the contrary appellate order was unsustainable. en-us Thu, 09 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 09:38:30 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293837 A pollution control authority may require an industrial unit to furnish a bank guarantee as a compliance condition where the measure is used to secure adherence to consent terms and environmental restoration.
