In the case of M.C. Mehta v Union of India (1997) 2 SCC 353 [Taj Trapezium Matter]:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The Taj Trapezium judgment addressed industrial air pollution threatening the Taj Mahal and its surroundings. The Court required the affected coal- or coke-using industries to obtain natural gas or relocate, while expressly protecting their workers. The directions preserved continuity of employment and wages during relocation and provided a shifting bonus or specified compensation where industries closed. These paired measures demonstrate consideration of labour rights alongside environmental protection, rather than treating the two as mutually exclusive or creating the proposed special labour tribunal.
