_____________________________________________________ For Petitioner(s) : Mr. S.S. Mahla.

_____________________________________________________ HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Order 15/02/2017 (2 of 2) [CW-1772/2017] This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners challenging order dated 20.01.2017 passed by Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board, which is a composite order revoking consent to operator under Section 21 of the Air (Prevention of Pollution) Act, 1981(for short 'the Act of 1981') and direction for closure under Section 31A of the Act of 1981.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the aforesaid order has been passed by Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board by misreading and misapplication of judgment dated 23.08.2016 rendered by the Supreme Court in People's Rights and Social Res. Centre & Others Vs. Union of India and Others.

Aforesaid order dated 20.01.2017, being composite, could be challenged by the petitioners by filing appeal before the Appellate Authority under Section 31 of the Act of 1981 and if grievances of the petitioners are still not remedied, they can approach by filing appeal before the National Green Tribunal under Section 31B of the Act of 1981.

Writ petition is, therefore, dismissed as not maintainable, however, with liberty to the petitioners to file appeal against the aforesaid order.

Stay application also stands dismissed.

(MOHAMMAD RAFIQ)J.
