Long Description : The Supreme Court is scheduled to deliver its judgment on September 23, 2025, in a suo motu case initiated over environmental degradation in the Himalayan region. The case stems from the court’s earlier observations on September 3, 2025, where a bench led by Chief Justice B.R. Gavai expressed grave concern over unprecedented floods and landslides in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, and Punjab. The court noted prima facie evidence of illegal tree felling, citing media footage of timber logs floating in floodwaters. Notices were issued to the Centre, relevant ministries, and the affected states, demanding responses on measures to curb deforestation and ensure balanced development. The judgment is expected to outline directives for environmental protection and disaster mitigation in ecologically sensitive zones.
