Summarised by AI from 1 article

The Centre for Environmental Justice has sent a letter of demand to the Attorney General for failing to fulfill responsibilities assigned by a Supreme Court ruling on the X-Press Pearl disaster.

President’s Counsel Ravindranath Dabare said the five-judge bench ruling on July 24, 2025, directed the Attorney General to conduct investigations, take legal action against responsible parties, and recover funds.

Dabare accused the Attorney General of failing to implement the orders despite multiple reminders.

The letter gives the Attorney General 14 days to provide a written explanation outlining steps taken, pending tasks, and reasons for delays, warning of contempt of court proceedings if he fails to act.
