The Karnataka High Court has extended the stay on the publication of the Final Notification on the draft Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) 2020 by the union environment ministry.

On August 5, the Karnataka High Court had restrained the environment ministry from publishing the final notification based on the draft EIA notification. It had then said that the citizens right to file objections against the draft EIA was taken away since the notification was published only in English and Hindi.
