The Madras High Court on Tuesday dismissed with a cost of Rs.15,000 a petition filed by the Tirupur Dyeing Factory Owners Association, which among other things, sought nine months to achieve 100 per cent zero liquid discharge and consequently permit the opening of bleaching and dyeing units.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice M.Y. Eqbal and Justice T.S. Sivagnanam also dismissed another plea from four trade unions, to permit dyeing and bleaching units to run with water from the New Tirupur Area Development Corporation to dilute discharge and reducing the total dissolved solids level.
Pointing to its earlier order dated January 28, 2011, passed in a contempt application filed by Noyyal River Ayuacutdars Protection Association, the bench said the petitioner, who was the fifth contemnor, was bound by the order.
“The petition attempts to seek a review of the order,” it said. “We do not appreciate the manner adopted by the petitioner, with a view to dilute the effect of our order January 28.”
