Concerned with increasing pollution, the Supreme Court said on Monday that people's lives are more important than any industrial development. No kind of agreement can be made from people's lives. The high court has commented on the death report of 60 thousand people due to pollution. 

A bench of Justice Madan B Lokur and Justice Deepak Gupta has asked the government to allow the cutting of trees without studying the impact on people's health. The bench also pulled out the Ministry of Environment and Forests for studying the impact of banning imports of substances that harm the environment.

The bench said to the government, "It seems that you are willing to allow the development but Did the former study the effect of it on people's health?"

There was a report in the newspapers that 60 thousand people have died due to pollution. The bench asked the government what are you doing after all? People are dying due to pollution in the capital. We do not know whether this report is correct or not, but in your report, it was indicated that people are losing their lives due to pollution. The bench said that people's lives are more important than any industry. 

In this case, lawyer Aparajita Singh said that the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has endorsed the ban on imports of Pet Coke, but the Ministry of Environment and Forest opposed it. At the same time, Additional Solicitor General, ANS Nadkarni, presenting the government said that there is no doubt that people's lives are important to anything else. He asked the bench to give him two days time to file a detailed report. After this, the bench asked the government to submit a report within a week to the court and submit it to the expert committee's report.
