Gauhati High Court's division bench has stayed the Central government's permission to Oil India Limited to drill seven wells inside Dibru-Saikhowa National Park in eastern Assam. The Dibru-Saikhowa National Park is adjacent to Baghjan well where the tragic blowout happened. The division bench comprising Chief Justice (acting) N. Kotiswar Singh and Justice Manish Chowdhury stayed the clearance after hearing a joint PIL.
