Power Company Files Caveat In Nagpur HC To Apprehending Litigation Against Proposed Coal Power Units

The Maharashtra State Power Generation Company has recently filed a caveat in the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court to safeguard its interests and ensure a fair hearing in the face of potential litigation.

The company came as a response to the opposition it has faced regarding its proposed two 660 MW coal power units in Koradi, Nagpur.

Environmentalists and activists expressed their concerns about the adverse environmental impacts associated with the existing power plant, including air pollution, land degradation, and water contamination.

In light of these concerns, the company wants to address any legal challenges that may arise from the 87 individuals who participated in the recent environmental public hearing conducted by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB).

By filing a caveat through their advocate, Mohit Khajanchi, the Maharashtra State Power Generation Company aims to ensure that it is granted an opportunity to present its case and be heard before any court orders or decisions are made in potential litigation.

This allows the company to actively participate and protect its rights in any legal proceedings that may be initiated against the proposed coal power units.

The filing of a caveat is a prudent approach taken by individuals or organizations who anticipate legal action against them. By submitting this petition, the company seeks to secure its right to be heard and have its perspective considered before any judgments or rulings are issued if a lawsuit is filed.

Therefore, the company aims to present its viewpoint and contribute to a well-informed decision regarding the future of the proposed coal power units at Koradi, Nagpur.
