UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following

O R D E R

We would like the Additional Solicitor General to explain the provision of law under which an ex post facto environmental clearance can be given in a case such as the present, where the environmental clearance was given in 2008 for 12 multi-storeyed buildings but today 18 multi-storeyed buildings have been constructed.

We would also like the Municipal Commissioner, Pune to file his/her personal affidavit explaining how the construction could come up without any action being taken by the Pune Municipal Corporation.

Affidavit be filed within two weeks.
