The division bench of the court comprising Justices M H Attar and Justice B S Walia asked the additional advocate general, N H Shah, who was present in the court to come up with the stand next week. The petition has been filed advocate N A Ronga, a resident of Harwan Srinagar and he states that if the capacity of the diary plant was enhanced from 20 TLPD to 50TLPD, it would have "disastrous affects" on the environment of the area which is green belt.

Ronga said milk plant has Cheshmashahi garden, Parimahal and botanical garden in its neighbourhood and according to Ronga, the milk processing involves lot of water. "According to experts, the water removed from milk can contain considerable amount of organic products and minerals. The cleaning of the plant results in caustic waste water "which will have an adverse impact on the surrounding environment," he said. Ronga has stated that he no objections if the plant is set up at any industrial area where such activities are allowed. The J&K Milk Producers Co-operative limited has already invited tenders for expanding the plant and as per the bid, it wants to expand the plant capacity to 50TLPD with utilities like steam generation, refrigeration, effluent treatment. The present capacity of plant is 20 thousand litres and its products include snow cap toned milk, ghee and curd etc. Ronga seeks directions to quash the NIT issued on January 28 in a local daily by J&K Milk Producers Co-operative limited.
