Mr. Nilanjan Bhattacharjee, Mr. Arpan Guha, Mr. Saikat Dey ..for the Petitioner.

Mr. Jahar lal De, Mr. Shamim ul Bari ..for the State.

Mr. Pantu Deb Roy, Mr. Pannalal Bandopadhyay ..for the Respondent No.5.

Mr. Jayanta Kumar Mitra, ld. Sr. Adv., Mr. Sourav Ghosh, Mr. Snehashis Sen ..for the Respondent No.13.

1. By this public interest writ petition the petitioner challenges an order passed by the State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority.

2. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the said order, it will be well open to the petitioner to move the National Green Tribunal.

3. A public interest writ petition would not be maintainable to examine the correctness of the decision of an expert body which has assessed the matter and taken a decision.

4. Therefore, the writ petition stands disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the appropriate remedy before appropriate forum in accordance with law.
