最高法院已就塔塔化学公司针对高等法院裁决提出的上诉，向古吉拉特邦政府发出通知。该裁决认定该公司须对卡奇湾海洋保护区遭受的环境损害负责，并要求其按照专家评估结果支付赔偿。
The Supreme Court has issued notice to the Gujarat government on Tata Chemicals’ appeal against a High Court ruling holding the company liable for environmental damage to the Gulf of Kutch Marine Sanctuary and ordering compensation based on an expert assessment.
最高法院于10月5日（星期一）指示，不得因塔塔化学公司被控破坏古吉拉特邦一处海洋保护区而对其采取任何强制措施。
The Supreme Court on Monday, October 5, directed that no coercive action be taken against Tata Chemicals over alleged environmental damage to a marine sanctuary in Gujarat.
该命令源于公司对古吉拉特邦高等法院一项裁决提出的异议；该裁决认定公司对损害卡奇湾海洋保护区负有责任。
The order came on the company's challenge to a Gujarat High Court ruling that held it liable for damaging the Gulf of Kutch Marine Sanctuary.
5月25日，高等法院驳回了塔塔化学公司于2006年针对地区行政长官一项命令提出的申请。公司希望确认其既有权利，即通过德夫布米当卡县密切普尔工厂附近、面积约200公顷区域的潮间带排放工业废水。
On May 25, the High Court had dismissed a petition Tata Chemicals filed in 2006 against a District Collector's order. The company had sought recognition of its pre-existing right to discharge industrial wastewater through the intertidal zone near its Mithapur plant in Devbhumi Dwarka district, across an area of about 200 hectares.
然而，古吉拉特邦高等法院驳回了该公司关于1987年以前已建成的遗留开放式污水渠道的主张，并将该公司描述为侵占保护区内政府土地。法院还表示，在损害得到修复之前，该公司有持续支付赔偿的义务。
However, Gujarat HC rejected the company's claim over legacy open wastewater channels established before 1987. It described the company as an encroacher on government land within the sanctuary. It also said the company had a continuing duty to pay compensation until the damage is reversed.
法院指示古吉拉特邦污染控制委员会（GPCB）任命专家评估损害情况，确定修复措施及应支付的赔偿金，并预计在三个月内完成评估。
The court directed the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) to appoint experts to assess the damage. The board was directed to determine remediation measures and the compensation payable, with the assessment expected within three months.
