law: Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974
  33. Power of Board to make Application to Courts for Restraining Apprehended Pollution of Water in Streams or Wells.
  
  (1) Where it is apprehended by a Board that
  
  the water in any stream or well is likely to be polluted by reason of the
  
  disposal or likely disposal of any matter in such stream or well or in any
  
  sewer or on any land, or otherwise, the Board may make an application to a
  
  court, not inferior to that of a Metropolitan Magistrate or a Judicial
  
  Magistrate of the first class, for restraining the person who is likely to
  
  cause such pollution from so causing.
  (2) On receipt of an application under
  
  sub-section (1) the court may make such order as it deems fit.
  (3) Where under sub-section (2) the court
  
  makes an order restraining any person from polluting the water in any stream or
  
  well, it may in that order -
  (i) direct the person
  
  who is likely to cause or has caused the pollution of the water in the stream
  
  or well, to desist from taking such action as is likely to cause pollution or,
  
  as the case may be to remove from such stream or well, such matter; and
  (ii) authorize the
  
  Board, if the direction under clause (i) (being a direction for the removal of
  
  any matter from such stream or well) is not complied with by the person to whom
  
  such direction is issued, to undertake the removal and disposal of the matter
  
  in such manner as may be specified by the court.
  (4) All expenses incurred by the Board in
  
  removing any matter in pursuance of the authorization under clause (ii) of
  
  sub-section (3) or in the disposal of any such matter may be defrayed out of
  
  any money obtained by the Board from such disposal and any balance outstanding
  
  shall be recoverable from the person concerned as arrears of land revenue or of
  
  public demand.
