The bench called for affidavits on fresh allegations of industrial pollution across the state and and also made the chief secretary (CS) of Rajasthan personally responsible for ensuring due, timely, and effective compliance with all its directions and ordered the officer to remain present through virtual mode at the next hearing on August 4.

It directed that the entire exercise must be carried out under the direct supervision of the High-Level Committee with scientific testing before and after treatment, while ensuring that no industrial operations of the CETP or its member industries resume without the court's prior permission....
