Supreme Court allows Vedanta s Sterlite plant in Tamil Nadu to reopen oxygen plant for medical use
The Supreme Court has allowed Vedanta s Sterlite Industries in Tamil Nadu s Tuticorin to reopen its oxygen production plant. A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud on Tuesday said that allowing Vedanta to operate its oxygen plant would not create any equity in favour of company.
The court added that Vedanta shall not enter, operate copper smelting plant under garb of the latest order. The copper unit was sealed by the state government in May 2018, days after 13 agitators were killed in police firing during a violent anti-Sterlite protest in the southern district.
