Essar Oil allowed to go ahead with project

NEW DELHI, JAN. 19. In a boost to Essar group, the Supreme Court today allowed it to go ahead with its Rs. 10,000 crore oil refinery at Jamnagar in Gujarat, hanging fire for almost a decade due to controversy over its pipelines passing through a marine national park and sanctuary at Vadinar.

A Bench comprising Justice Ruma Pal and Justice B. N. Srikrishna, while allowing an appeal filed by Essar Oil Limited (EOL), said the company was `entitled to proceed with the project'.

The Bench directed the Gujarat Government `to provide within a fortnight' all permission required for the purpose of laying the pipeline in the marine national park and sanctuary for the purpose of carrying crude oil to the refinery. — PTI
