CWP-3993-2026 -24.

Heard the arguments and perused the record.

5.

From the perusal of record, it is evident that petitioners appeared before Court and tendered their statement. They were represented by an Advocate. They were not forced to tender statement. There is nothing on record disclosing that their statement was coerced. There seems no reason to interfere with order passed by MACT. 6.

Dismissed.

7.

Pending application(s), if any, stands disposed of. (JAGMOHAN BANSAL) JUDGE March 25, 2026 Deepak DPA Whether Speaking/reasoned Yes/No Whether Reportable Yes/No DEEPAK BISSYAN 2026.03.25 15:57 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
