Will continue to engage closely with APPCB to resolve issues, it says
Having secured the Andhra Pradesh High Court’s interim suspension of the orders passed by Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB), the Amara Raja Batteries Limited (ARBL) has resumed operations at its plants at Nunegundlapalli (near Chittoor) and Karakambadi (near Tirupati). Back in the saddle, the company has exuded confidence of meeting all its supply commitments and has assured its stakeholders that the temporary disruption caused during the last few days will not have any material impact on its operations or order book. “We have taken proactive measures to ensure that all our obligations to supply products and services to our customers are met in a timely manner without causing any inconvenience whatsoever. We are assessing the impact of the short-term disruption, and are gearing up to sufficiently cater to the demands of all customers and business partners,” a company spokesperson said.“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
