ORDER/JUDGMENT PRESENT :
Hon'ble Mr. Justice Swatanter Kumar (Chairperson) Hon'ble Mr. Justice U.D. Salvi (Judicial Member) Hon'ble Dr.G.K. Pandey (Expert Member) Hon'ble Prof. A.R. Yousuf (Expert Member) Hon'ble Dr. R.C.Trivedi (Expert Member) Dated : May 23rd, 2013 JUSTICE SWATANTER KUMAR, (CHAIRPERSON) 2
1. The Punjab Pollution Control Board (for short "the Board") on 13th June, 2003, in exercise of its powers vested under Section 31-A of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, (for short 'the Act') while issuing different directions, also directed the appellant to stop operating all its outlets and stop forthwith discharging any emissions from its industrial premises into environment while operating in the residential area. The relevant part of the order dated 13th June, 2003 reads as under:
"Whereas it is mandatory on the part of the industry to obtain the consent of the Board to establish u/s 21 of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as amended in 1987 before establishing the industry. Whereas it is mandatory on the part of the industry to obtain the consent to operate of the Board u/s 21 of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as amended in 1987 before operating the industry.
Whereas it is mandatory on the part of the industry to provide adequate and appropriate air pollution control devices to control the noise/air emissions from its industrial premises to bring down within the permissible limits prescribed by the Board.
And whereas the industry has been established in the residential area without the prior "consent to establish" (NOC) of the Board.
And whereas industry has failed to obtain the consent to operate of the Board u/s 21 of Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as amended in 1987 and is illegally operating in the residential area.
And whereas industry has obtained the power connection from the Punjab State Electricity Board in a residential area 3 without the clearance certificate from the Punjab Pollution Control Board.
And whereas Sh. Sohan Singh S/o Sh. Natha Singh filed a CWP No. 3902 of 2003 in the Hon'ble Punjab & Haryana High Court against Sh. Gurdev Singh for disconnection of power connection obtained by him on the basis of false affidavit. And whereas as per order of the Hon'ble Court dt. 7.3.2003 Punjab Pollution Control Board has been directed to "consider the legal notice/representation filed by the petitions and to decide the same in accordance with law by passing speaking order. The needful must be done within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of the said order."
And whereas the industry was visited by the officers of the Board on 25.3.2003 and 10.6.2003 and observed that industry is creating noise level beyond the limits prescribed by the Board for the residential area.
And whereas the industry is violating the provisions of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 as amended in 1987.
And whereas industry was given an opportunity of show cause vide this office letter No. 622-23 dated 9.6.2003 and was heard in person on 11.6.2003. Sh. Gurdev Singh S/o Harnam Singh, owner of the unit, attended the hearing. During this hearing all these reports on noise pollution as well as the facts mentioned in CWP No. 3802 of 2003 were shared with the owner of the unit.
And whereas the owner has admitted to shift only the pollution generating machinery from the premises but did not accept that whole of its unit be closed as other similar units are also operating in the area.
The offer of the owner to shift only the pollution generating machinery from the current site is not acceptable to the Punjab Pollution Control Board as any industry cannot be allowed to operate in the residential area. But this is a polluting unit operating in the residential area in violation to the provisions of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 4 1981.
Keeping in view the statement of Assistant Environmental Engineer, Zonal Office, Ludhiana, Regional Office's reports and submission of owner of the unit, I, Birinder Jit Singh, Senior Environmental Engineer, in exercise of the powers conferred upon me u/s 31-A of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as amended in 1987 direct you as following:-
1. That the industry will stop operating all its outlets and stop forthwith discharging any emissions from its industrial premises into environment while operating in a residential area.
2. Power connection of the unit M/s Panesar Products operating in residential area be got disconnected by issuing directions u/s 31-A of Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 to the Punjab State Electricity Board in this regard.
3. Regional Office should also initiate action against Mr. Sohan Singh, H. No. 4147, Street No. 4, Shimlapuri and any other similar unit established in the vicinity as well as in the residential area without NOC/clearance certificate of the Board.
In case you fail to comply with the above directions, you are liable for action u/s 37(1) of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, as amended in 1987."
2. The legality and correctness of the above order is challenged by the appellant in the present application, inter alia, but primarily on the following grounds:
(i) The impugned order is violative of the principles of natural justice. The appellant was not provided hearing and in any case adequate hearing, by the Board. Thus, the order is violative of the principles of natural justice.
5
(ii) There are a number of other units in the same vicinity (residential area) which are carrying on similar or other polluting businesses but no action has been taken against them. The appellant has been discriminated. As such, the order is arbitrary.
(iii) The appellant falls in the exempted category and is not required to take consent of the Board for carrying on its industrial activity. The Board, in exercise of its powers, had issued a notification on 28 th April, 1998 declaring the list of tiny small scale industries of 63 different types which were exempted from obtaining consent of the Board. The appellant falls under Entry No.39 of the list and the entire action of the Board and passing of the impugned order is without jurisdiction.
3. The above contentions arise out of the factual matrix, that the appellant claims to have established a small scale industry in the name and style of Panesar Products, which was carrying on the business of manufacturing of cycle parts. Amongst others, these parts included side supports, round and channel with clip to be used for kids' cycles. The appellant applied to the Board for obtaining its consent. Along with that the appellant also applied to the Municipal Corporation of Ludhiana for obtaining a no objection certificate. The officers of the Board advised the appellant that there was no necessity to grant no objection certificate to 6 him in view of the notification dated 28th April, 1998. It is also averred by the appellant that his unit was a non-polluting unit, not emitting any air or water pollutant, and even on that score, he was not required to obtain the consent of the Board. As far as the submission of the appellant to Ludhiana Municipal Corporation was concerned, the appellant claims to have submitted all necessary documents with affidavits and the said Corporation finally granted no objection certificate vide their letter dated, 23rd May, 1996.
Vide its notification, the Board has also categorised industries with reference to the investments made by the industry. The industries having investments of less than Rs.10 lakhs and not causing any pollution did not require consent of the Board. This also was further clarified by the Board vide its letter dated, 1st June, 1998 wherein the Board divided the industries under three different categories:
1) Red industries which were causing pollution and were industries of hazardous nature.
2) Green industries, and
3) Exempted industries.
4. The industries which fell in green category were the industries which were causing marginal pollution. Electrical connections to the industries, 7 which were marginally polluting, were granted without insisting upon the consent/no objection certificate from the Board. In furtherance to this decision, the appellant had applied for electrical connection from Punjab State Electricity Board. Subsequently, an electrical connection in favour of the appellant was released by the Electricity Board.
5. The industrial unit of the appellant is situated at House No. 4256/3, Street No.4, Shimlapuri, Gill Road, Ludhiana, which is a residential area. Near and around the unit of the appellant, a number of other industrial units are also functioning. The appellant has filed a copy of the site plan, showing other industrial units working in the same area, as Annexure P.3. The appellant's unit was neither emitting any pollution nor any complaint was made against the appellant though he was carrying on the business for almost 4-5 years. Because of personal differences, one Sohan Singh, Respondent No.3, herein, filed a false complaint against the appellant for causing noise pollution. Though the said respondent is also having an industrial unit, manufacturing locks and the said unit, it is contended, is causing more pollution than that of the appellant, still no action had been taken by the Board against Respondent No.3 while the appellant, vide notice dated, 9th June, 2003 was asked to appear before the Board on 10th June, 2003 on which date he appeared and 8 submitted an application that according to the order, the level of noise pollution is 64.3 db against the permissible limit of 55 db and prayed for more time to comply with the directions and to bring the noise level within the permissible limits. However, the Board was adamant and ordered the appellant to close the unit by 13th June, 2003. In the event of the appellant not complying with this order, the Electricity Board was directed to disconnect the electricity supply to the unit. In this manner, the appellant was neither granted adequate opportunity by the Board and their action was arbitrary and malafide.
6. It is also the case of the appellant that on 28th May, 2003, the officials of the Board visited his premises and found that only small machines like power press, small press, surface grinder, press grinder and drill machine were working and there was no machinery in operation which was creating extraordinary noise. The appellant claims that for the above reasons, the impugned order is arbitrary, violative of the principles of natural justice, that the Board has passed the order dated 13 th June, 2003 at the behest of Respondent No.3 and that the appellant's industry falls in the exempted category. Therefore, the impugned order ought to be set aside and directions issued by the Board as well as other Departments need to be quashed.
9
7. First and foremost, we may deal with the contention in regard to violation of principles of natural justice. From the above narrated facts, it cannot be disputed that the Board had issued a notice to the appellant on 9th June, 2003 requiring him to appear before the Board on 10th June, 2003. In that notice, it was specifically stated inter alia that the industry was visited by the officers on 25th March, 2003 and the noise level of the industry was monitored. It was observed that the noise level was beyond the limits prescribed by the Board for the residential area. The notice clearly stipulated that the industry should obtain the consent of the Board in terms of Section 21 of the Act and it was mandatory for the appellant to provide adequate and appropriate air pollution control devices to control the noise/air emissions from its industrial premises so as to bring them down within the permissible limits prescribed by the Board. Even reference to the complaints made against the appellant was mentioned. This itself provided an opportunity to the appellant to file objections, if any, and also stated as to what directions were contemplated to be passed against the appellant. The appellant appeared before the Board on that date and even filed objections. In his application, the appellant raised the above ground and in fact admittedly prayed for time to install air and noise pollution control devices to bring 10 down the respective pollution levels. This case is even pleaded by the appellant in his application afore referred. In the impugned order, the Board had specifically noticed that during the hearing, all the reports on noise pollution as well as averments made in Writ Petition No.3802/2003 were shared with the owner of the unit. During the hearing, the appellant had admitted to shift only the pollution generating machinery from the premises in question but not wholly as other similar units were also operating in the area. The principles of natural justice are certainly applicable to such proceedings. In fact, the provisions of the Act specifically require and contemplate that an opportunity shall be provided to the appellant before any order adversely affecting his rights are passed by the Board. Natural justice does not have absolute application. It is to be examined on the facts of a given case.
In the case of Union of India v. Tulsiram Patel (1985) 3 SCC 398, a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court stated: "that the question whether requirements of natural justice have been met by the procedure adopted in a given case must depend to a great extent on the facts and circumstances of the case in point, the constitution of the Tribunal and the rules under which it functions." 11
8. Thus, we have to examine whether the principles of natural justice have been violated in the present case. The premises of the appellant were inspected on 25th March, 2003 which means that the appellant knew that his unit was violating the prescribed parameters of noise pollution. Thereafter, the notice dated 9th June, 2003 was served upon him to appear before the Board on 10th June, 2003 when he admittedly appeared and filed his objections. From the objections filed and from the record before us, it is clear that the appellant practically admitted the violation of the prescribed standards of noise pollution. It was expected of the appellant to install air and noise pollution control devices from the month of March, 2003 when it was detected by the officers of the Board on 25th March. However, he took no steps. We are not prepared to hold that in the facts of the present case, the appellant was not granted appropriate opportunity to put forward his case. On the contrary, he has practically admitted the case of the Board and wanted time to rectify the defects. There is nothing on record to show that even upto the present date, the appellant has installed noise and air pollution control devices. Such inaction on the part of the appellant, despite the benefit of being granted interim stay, even reflects on the conduct of the appellant. It is a settled rule of principles of natural justice that one who claims relief in 12 equity must not only do equity himself but should also discharge his statutory obligations and comply with the requirements of law. Thus, we reject the contention raised on behalf of the appellant that there is any violation of natural justice.
9. Now, we would proceed to take up the third contention afore- referred, as advanced by the applicant, before deliberating upon the second contention. For its proper appreciation it will be more appropriate to dissect this contention into the following two parts: a. Whether the Board has power and authority in law under the provisions of the Act to exempt any Unit from the applicability of Section 21 and other provisions of the Act.
b. If the above is answered in the affirmative, even then, whether the unit of the applicant falls under any of the entries of the stated 'exempted list'.
10. With the increasing industrialization and the tendency of the majority of industries to congregate in areas which are already heavily industrialized, the impact of the problem of air pollution has begun to be felt in the country. The presence in air, beyond certain limits, of various pollutants discharged from certain human activities including industrial emissions as well as traffic, heating, use of 13 domestic fuel, incinerations etc. obviously had a detrimental effect on the health of the people and even on animal life, vegetation and property. Air pollution is more serious than any other form of pollution due to the following facts:
(i) All living creatures, including human beings, consume much larger quantity of air than any other resources from nature. For example, on an average an adult man consumes about 17 kg. of air in a day. No other matter, in such a high quantity is consumed by man in a day. Thus, even very little contamination of air will expose the living beings to a high dose of air pollutants.
(ii) If air is polluted, nobody can escape it. However, if water is dirty, one can easily avoid to drink it and similarly if food is contaminated, one can avoid consuming the same. But if air is polluted, no one can avoid inhaling it, even if one knows that he is going to die if he breathes such contaminated air. As happened in Bhopal during the famous gas episode, large number of animals, birds, plants and human beings died during that tragedy.
Thus, air pollution has to be viewed more seriously in order to protect the environment and all living beings. With these objects in mind, the legislature in its wisdom had enacted the Act to provide for 14 prevention, control and abatement of area pollution. India was also bound by its participation in the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, Stockholm, 1972 to take appropriate steps for the preservation of the natural resources of the earth which, among others things, include the preservation of quality of air and control of air pollution. Once the object and preamble to the Act are examined with interpretative objectivity, it is obvious that every industrial unit which caused emissions was required to take consent of the Board. Not only this, the framers of law used explicit language to show that there was an imposed restriction on establishing or operating any industrial plant in the air pollution control area. The State Government, after consultation with the State Board, was required to notify and declare the air pollution control areas for the purposes of this Act. These areas were subject to extension or reduction in terms of the provisions of Section 19 of the Act. The Board, under Section 22 of the Act, was specifically empowered to lay down standards of emission as well as to issue such instructions as may be necessary for any person operating an industrial plant. This power, more particularly, in relation to automobiles was conferred upon the Board in terms of Section 20 read with Section 17 (1)(g) of the Act. At this 15 stage, it will be appropriate to refer to the provisions of Section 17 and 21 of the Act, which will have a considerable bearing on the matters in issue before us in this application:
"17. Functions of State Boards.
(1) subject to the provisions of this Act, and without prejudice to the performance of its functions, if any, under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 (Act 6 of 1974), the functions of a State Board shall be-

(2) A State Board may establish or recognise a laboratory or laboratories to enable the State Board to perform its functions under this section efficiently.
*****
21. Restrictions on use of certain industrial plants. [(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, no person shall, without the previous consent of the State Board, establish or operate any industrial plant in an air pollution control area :
Provided that a person operating any industrial plant in any air pollution control area, immediately before the commencement of section 9 of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Amendment Act, 1987, for which no consent was necessary prior to such commencement, may continue to do so for a period of three months from such commencement or, if he has made an application for such consent within the said period of three months, till the disposal of such application.] (2) An application for consent of the State Board under sub- section (1) shall be accompanied by such fees as may be prescribed 'and shall be made in the prescribed form and 17 shall contain the particulars of the industrial plant and such other particulars as may be prescribed :
Provided that where any person, immediately before the declaration of any area as an air pollution control area, operates in such area any industrial plant, *** such person shall make the application under this sub-section within such period (being not less than three months from the date of such declaration) as may be prescribed and where such person makes such application, he shall be deemed to be operating such industrial plant with the consent of the State Board until the consent applied for has been refused, (3) The State Board may make such inquiry as it may deem fit in respect of the application for consent referred to in sub-section (1) and in making any such inquiry, shall follow such procedure as may be prescribed.
(4) Within a period of four months after the receipt of the application for consent referred to in sub-section (1), the State Board shall, by order in writing, [and for reasons to be recorded in the order, grant the consent applied for subject to such conditions and for such period as may be specified in the order, or refuse consent:] [Provided that it shall be open to the State Board to cancel such consent before the expiry of the period for which it is granted or refuse further consent after such expiry if the conditions subject to which such consent has been granted are not fulfilled:
Provided further that before cancelling a consent or refusing a further consent under the first provision, a reasonable opportunity of being heard shall be given to the person concerned.] (5) Every person to whom consent has been granted by the State Board under sub-section (4), shall comply with the following conditions, namely -
(i) the control equipment of such specifications as the State Board may approve in this behalf shall be installed and operated in the premises where the industry is carried on or proposed to be carried on;
18
(ii) the existing control equipment, if any, shall be altered or replaced in accordance with the directions of the State Board;
(iii) the control equipment referred to in clause (i) or clause
(ii) shall be kept at all times in good running condition;
(iv) chimney, wherever necessary, of such specifications as the State Board may approve in this behalf shall be erected or re-erected in such premises; .and
(v) such other conditions as the State Board, may specify in this behalf,
(vi) the conditions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) shall be complied with within such period as the State Board may specify in this behalf-
Provided that in the case of a person operating any industrial plant *** in an air pollution control area immediately before the date of declaration of such area as an air pollution control area, the period so specified shall not be less than six months :
Provided further that-
(a) after the installation of any control equipment in accordance with the specifications under clause (i), or
(b) after the alteration or replacement of any control equipment in accordance with the directions of the State Board under clause (ii), or
(c) after the erection or re-erection of any chimney under clause (iv), no control equipment or chimney shall be altered or replaced or, as the case may be, erected or re- created except with the previous approval of the State Board.
(6) If due to any technological improvement or otherwise the State Board is of opinion that all or any of the conditions referred to in sub-section (5) require or requires variation (including the change of any control equipment, either in whole or in part), the State Board shall, after giving the person to whom consent has been granted an opportunity of being heard, vary all or any of such conditions and thereupon such person shall be bound to comply with the conditions as so varied.
19
(7) Where a person to whom consent has been granted by the State Board under sub-section (4) transfers his interest in the industry to any other person, such consent shall be deemed to have been granted to such other person and he shall be bound to comply with all the conditions subject to which it was granted as if the consent was granted to him originally."
11. Section 17 of the Act declares that subject to provisions of the Act and without prejudice to the performance of its functions under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, the functions of the State Boards are stated in clauses (a) to (j) of sub- Section (1) to Section 17. It is apparent that none of these clauses specify the functions to be performed by the Board while specifically empowering it to exempt an industry from being established or operate without consent of the Board. Reliance has been placed upon Section 17(1)(j) of the Act. This is a kind of residuary power that is vested in the Board to do things or to perform such other acts as it may think necessary for the proper discharge of its functions and generally for carrying into effect the object of this Act. By the plain language of this provision it is clear that the functions or powers vested in the Board by virtue of the residuary clause can be exercised only for two purposes, i.e. for the purposes of proper discharge of its functions and for carrying into effect the purposes of 20 this Act. Performance of any act by the Board, thus, must fall within these two clauses, otherwise the Board will have no power to perform that act. The residuary power clause can be brought into service only in consonance with the above purposes and in any case it cannot be exercised to perform an act, which will be in conflict with the provisions, purpose or object of the Act itself. No act can be performed and no power can be exercised which would lead to a conflict with any of the provisions of the Act. Like, it is a settled tenet of civil jurisprudence that a court cannot exercise inherent powers in derogation to the specific provisions of a statute/Code. It is always with the intention to aid the implementation of the specific provisions of an Act that such inherent or residuary powers can be resorted to.
12. In the present case, Section 21 opens with the negative language, 'no person shall, without the previous consent of the State Board, establish or operate, any industrial plant in an air pollution control area'. This restriction is complete in itself except to the extent that the existing industries were permitted to continue for a limited period to enable them to obtain consent of the Board and till such applications were pending. Rest of the provisions of Section 21 21 deal with the procedure, manner and imposition of conditions, while granting or refusing the consent. The legislature in its wisdom has carved out no exception to the rule that there could be no establishment or operation of the industrial units in the air pollution control areas except with the consent of the Board. Once the substantive provisions provide for no such exceptions and Section 20 does not specifically empower the Board to carve out exceptions by providing exemptions, it is impermissible to contend that with the aid of the residuary clause, Section 17(1)(j), such statutory restrictions could be relaxed or exceptions could be carved out thereto by implication. The doctrine that general things do not derogate from specific things (generalia specialibus non derogant), clearly implies that the general power contained under Section 17(1)(j) cannot be taken to have an overriding effect over specifically stated functions of the Board and thus, is in clear derogation to Section 21(1) of the Act. It is equally a settled preposition of law that special provisions will control the general provisions while vice versa is not true. To see it in the light of our Constitutional scheme, we may refer to Article 14 which is a general provision relating to all kinds of laws and all kinds of persons while Article 310 deals with a 22 special or particular matter namely 'government servants and their termination of services' thus, article 310, being specific, would override the provisions of Article 14, as far as possible. It is clear that Section 21 is the soul of the Statute and is the most significant provision keeping in view the preamble, objects and reasons of the Act. Thus, to further the cause of the Act, it is absolutely essential to permit operation of Section 21 without any legal impediments resulting from exercise of residuary powers under the provisions of the Act.
13. While interpreting the statutory provisions, the courts normally avoid to adopt an interpretation which would tantamount to adding words to the language of a provision. The courts or tribunals generally refrain from entering into the realm of legislation. By interpretation they would not read such words into the provisions, which would result in defeating the very scheme of the Act and its very object. Such a proposition can be examined from another point of view that whenever there is an omission by the legislature of a word or language in a provision, it is also for a reason. Normally, such omission can be remedied only by a legislative act unless the very purpose of the Act and the provisions 23 would stand defeated but for adding or reading into the provisions of such Act. Under the principle of casus omissus, that which should have been but has not been provided for in a statute, cannot be supplied by the courts, as to do so will be 'legislation' and not 'construction'. Of course, such a rule is not free of exceptions (Unique Butyle Tube Industries Pvt. Ltd. v. U.P. Financial Corporation and Ors. (2003) 2 SCC 455).
14. More than often, courts and tribunals adopt the principle of plain interpretation. The intention of the legislature is primarily to be gathered from the language used which means that the attention should be paid to what has been said as also to what has not been said. (Gwalior Rayon Silk Mfg. (Wvg.) Co. Ltd. v. Custodian of Vested Forests AIR 1990 SC 1747).
15. A three judge Bench of the Supreme Court in the case of Harshad S. Mehta and Ors. v. The State of Maharashtra (2001) 8 SCC 257 held as follows:
"32. The contention further is that the deficiency in the Act, if any, cannot be provided by the court particularly when the language is plain and simple and the assumed gaps cannot be filled by the court and that the wilful omission made by the legislature has to be respected by the court. On the legislature wilfully omitting to incorporate something of an analogous law in a 24 subsequent statute, or even if there is a casus omissus in a statute, the language of which is otherwise plain and unambiguous, the court is not competent to supply the omission under the guise of interpretation by analogy or implication, something what it thinks to be a general principle of justice and equity, reliance has been placed upon The Commissioner of Sales Tax, U.P., Lucknow v. M/s. Parson Tools and Plants, Kanpur [1975]3SCR743 , Lord Howard De Walden v. Inland Revenue Commissioners 1948 (2) All E.R. 828, Johnson & Anr. v.
Moreton 1978 (3) All E.R. 37 and Harcharan Singh v. Smt. Shivrani & Ors. [1981]2SCR962 . The contention is that any interpretation by this court other than the one propounded would be entrenching upon the power of legislature. On the principles of interpretation on detail consideration of various decisions of this court and courts of other countries, in S.P. Gupta & Ors. etc. v. Union of India & Ors. etc. etc. [1982]2SCR365, a Bench of seven judges said:
"But there is one principle on which there is complete unanimity of all the courts in the world and this is that where the words or the language used in a statute are clear and cloudless, plain, simple and explicit unclouded and unobscured, intelligible and pointed so as to admit of no ambiguity, vagueness, uncertainty or equivocation, there is absolutely no room for deriving support from external aids. In such cases, the statute should be interpreted on the face of the language itself without adding, subtracting or omitting words therefrom (para
197).
Where, however, the words or expressions used in the constitutional or statutory provisions are shrouded in mystery, clouded with ambiguity and are unclear and unintelligible so that the dominant object and spirit of the legislature cannot be spelt out from the language, external aids in the nature of parliamentary debates, immediately preceding the passing of the statute, the report of the Select Committee or its Chairman, the Statement of 25 Objects and Reasons of the statute, if any, or any statement made by the sponsor of the statute which is in close proximity to the actual introduction or insertion of the statutory provision so as to become, as it were, a result of the statement made, can be pressed into service in order to ascertain the real purport, intent and will of the legislature to make the constitutional provision workable. We might make it clear that such aids may neither be decisive nor conclusive but they would certainly assist the courts interpreting the statute in order to determine the avowed object of the Act or the Constitution as the case may be. (para 271 (2))."
33. On the principles of interpretation, we have no difficulty in accepting the contentions of Mr. Jethmalani but the question is about the applicability thereof."
16. While framing and elaborating the powers and functions of the Board under Section 17 of the Act, the legislature in its wisdom has dealt with even minute details of the functions to be performed by the Board, like the power of inspection, to collect and disseminate information, to advice the Government and to collaborate with the Central Government on various issues to lay down the guidelines. Thus, it cannot be said that an omission to empower the Board with a significant power to exempt industries from operation of the provisions of the Act was an unintended omission on behalf of the Legislature. It can be illustratively dealt with by reference to the provisions of Section 19 of the Act where it is the duty of the State Government to declare air pollution control areas and then a specific 26 power is further vested in the Government to extend or reduce this area by exercise of such power. In contradistinction to this, the provisions of the Act are completely silent in regard to the vesting the Board with the authority to exempt units from the operation of Section 21 of the Act. The Board is not vested independently with any legislative power, except the ones specified in the Act. The power to exempt or exclude has to be specifically provided. It is incapable of being simply inferred. In the case of implied exclusion, the legislative intent has to be definite and certain. In that case, it must be held by the court that any other view would frustrate the object or purpose of the Act. In the case of Union of India vs. Alok Kumar (2010) 5 SCC 349, the Supreme Court while dealing with service rules relating to the railway employees clearly took the view that exclusion has to be specific while holding as under: -
"41. It is a settled principle of interpretation that exclusion must either be specifically provided or the language of the rule should be such that it definitely follows by necessary implication. The words of the rule, therefore, should be explicit or the intent should be irresistibly expressed for exclusion. If it was so intended, the framers of the rule could simply use the expression like 'public servant in office' or 'an authority in office'. Absence of such specific language exhibits the mind of the framers that they never intended to restrict the scope of 'other authority' by limiting it to the serving 27 officers/officials. The principle of necessary implication further requires that the exclusion should be an irresistible conclusion and should also be in conformity with the purpose and object of the rule.
******
43. An exclusion clause should be reflected in clear, unambiguous, explicit and specific terms or language, as in the clauses excluding the jurisdiction of the court the framers of the law apply specific language. In some cases, as it may be, such exclusion could be read with reference to irresistible implicit exclusion. In our opinion the language of Rule 9(2) does not support the submission of the respondents. Application of principle of exclusion can hardly be inferred in absence of specific language. Reference in this regard can be made to the judgment of this Court in the case of New Moga Transport Co. v. United India Insurance Co. Ltd. AIR 2004 SC 2154."
17. The power to exempt from the operation of the provisions of the Act must be specifically provided in the statute itself or it must arise as a result of implied power which indisputably emerges from the scheme of the Act. Besides this, it should be in conformity with the purpose and objects of the Act. We have no doubt in our mind that the power to exclude or exempt any unit or industry is specifically neither provided under the provisions of the Act nor does it flow impliedly. On the contrary, exercising such power of exemption in relation to the provisions of the Act, particularly in face of the language of Sections 21 and 17 of 28 the Act would neither be permissible nor possible. It would hamper, and even frustrate, the object of the Act.
18. Similar provisions under the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000 have been framed under the powers vested in the proper authority/Government under Sections 6 and 25 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The noise pollution is regulated by Rule 4 of the said rules, which states that the noise level in any area/zone shall not exceed the ambient air quality standards in respect of noise, as specified in the Schedule. There is no provision in the Act that empowers the Board to exempt any industry or unit from the operation of the Act. Absence of such specific power necessarily implies that every industry or unit, before it is established or becomes operative must obtain consent of the Board in terms of Section 21 of the Act.
19. In the light of this position of law, the Board could not have issued the notification dated 28th April, 1998, which, in fact, is only a resolution passed by the Board in its 97th meeting held on 3rd April, 1998. A bare reading of the resolution shows absence of authority or power to pass such resolution. This resolution does not refer to any provision of law of the Act or even the rules framed thereunder in exercise of which the Board is competent to prescribe for such 29 exemption. If the statute has not provided any provision in compliance to which a unit or industry could be granted exemption or falls outside the ambit of the provisions of the Act, then the Board cannot do so by an administrative instruction or resolution. Quando aliquid prohibitur ex directo, prohibitur et per obliquum.
If an industry is neither discharging any trade effluent nor emitting pollutant in the air or atmosphere including noise, then the Board can grant its consent without conditions, but the Board is not vested with the power of exempting industries from the operation of the Act. The limit of financial investment by a unit on its establishment, including plant and machinery, cannot, in any case, be a fair criterion for providing the stated exemption. This criterion appears to be without any application of mind. For instance, an electroplating unit may hardly have any investment in its plant and machinery but still can be a very highly polluting industry. Thus, an embargo relating to an investment of less than Rs.10 lakhs does not have any nexus to the object of the Act, i.e., prevention and control of pollution. As such, we must conclude that the notification dated 28th April, 1998 issued by the Board is without the authority of the law and, in fact, is in the teeth of Sections 21 and 17 of 30 the Act. Thus, we do hereby quash and set aside this notification for being contrary to law.
20. Still, another aspect of this case is that even if for the sake of arguments, it is presumed that the notification dated 28th April, 1998 is a valid notification in the eyes of law, even then the appellant does not fall within the ambit of the notification. This notification emanates from the resolution of the Punjab Pollution Control Board, whereby a list of 63 types of tiny/small industries, were exempted from obtaining the consent of the Board under the provisions of the Act. Firstly, we must notice that NOC is not a concept applicable to the provisions of the Act. The Act under Section 21 provides for obtaining consent of the Board to establish or operate an industrial unit. These industries or units should make an application for obtaining the consent of the Board. The Board has the discretion to grant consent, conditional consent or even refuse the consent. However, it is not vested with the power of exempting industries from complying with their statutory obligations under the provisions of the Act.
According to the appellant, he is covered under Entry No.39 of the list, which reads as under:
"39. Lathe and welding sets (only electrical) without casting." 31
21. It is now an undisputed case before us that the appellant does not carry on the business of lathe and welding sets (only electrical) without casting. In fact, the industry being run by the appellant causes noise as well as air pollution. The industry was inspected on two different occasions, i.e. on 25th March, 2003 and 10th June, 2003. It was noticed that the industry was causing noise pollution at a level beyond the limits prescribed by the Board for the residential area. It is also an admitted fact that the industry is located in a residential area.
22. Even as per the inspection conducted on 1st April, 2013, and the report submitted thereof, it was inter alia noticed that the industrial unit of the appellant, Mr. Gurdev Singh, was engaged in manufacturing of cycle parts. The relevant part of the said report reads as under:
"The industry was in operation during visit. The industry is engaged in manufacturing of the cycle parts.
The industry has installed 05 nos. presses of 05 ton capacity each, 01 no. press of 20 ton capacity, 01 no. press of 100 ton capacity, 01 no. grinder, 01 no. lathe machine and 03 no. drill machines.
The industry has installed 01 no. DG set of 07 KVA capacity with adequate stack height but without canopy. The industry is not generating any trade effluent and only domestic effluent is generated which is being discharged into MC sewer.
As per the representative of the industry, the bigger press is being operated as per demand of the market.32
The industry has not obtained NOC/consent to operate of the Board and is operating without the same.
The premises of the Sh. Sohan Singh, the complainant, was also visited. He has installed 01 No. press of 05 ton capacity, 01 no. milling machine (small), 01 no. grinder, which were not in operation during visit due to ill physical conditions of the proprietor, as told by him. As per proprietor of the industry, he is manufacturing the spare part at the premises since 1982 and the area is residential area. However, no record (documentary proof) could be produced by him. He has not obtained NOC/consent to operate of the Board and is operating the industry without the same. The machinery of the complainant's premises was also got operated for the purpose of noise monitoring. Noise monitoring of the industry as well as complainant's own machinery was carried by taking out one by one in operation. The result of the noise monitoring is as under:
Monitorin

The contribution to noise level is above 10 dB (A). This is for your information and necessary action please."
23. From the above inspection report, it is clear that the unit of the appellant is not only having a lathe machine but also has presses, grinder and even a diesel generator set of 7 KVA capacity. All this is bound to result in air and noise pollution. The appellant is manufacturing cycle parts and thus cannot fall under Entry No.39 of the afore-referred list. Thus, in any case, the appellant has no case even on merits keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case.
24. As far as the plea of discrimination is concerned, the appellant cannot drive any benefit even if the allegations were taken to be correct. If others are polluting, that does not give right to the appellant to pollute. The industry of the appellant, on various occasions, has been found to be a polluting industry and causing annoyance and disturbance to the people living in the colony. Discrimination is no defence to an offence. However, the Board must take action against other air and noise polluting industries located in the same residential area. If Mr. Sohan Singh, the complainant, is running an industry, which is causing pollution, we direct the Board to take immediate steps to inspect the said 34 unit, and stop and prevent the pollution caused by his unit, if any, forthwith.
25. Having found no merits in any of the contentions raised on behalf of the appellant, we are left with no option but to dismiss the application of the appellant. The impugned order was served upon the appellant on 13 th June, 2003. He had filed a Writ Petition in the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, which came up for hearing before that Court. Vide its order dated 24th June, 2003, the High Court stayed the operation of the impugned order dated 13th June, 2003. The said stay order continued till 2013 when the matter was ordered to be transferred to this Tribunal. During the pendency of the matter before the Tribunal, the said stay order was not specifically vacated. In these circumstances, while dismissing the application of the appellant, we would grant a period of two months to the appellant to shift his industry from the residential area in question or in the alternative to bring the air and noise pollution parameters strictly within the permissible limits and obtain consent of the Board within the said period. In the event of default of the aforesaid conditions, the impugned order dated 13th June, 2003 shall become operative and the appellant, Mr. Gurdev Singh, shall close his unit and 35 stop the industrial activity in the premises in question without any further opportunity.
26. For the reasons aforestated, we decline to interfere in the order of 13th June, 2003 and dismiss this application; however, leaving the parties to bear their own costs.

Test frontend libraries in the console using io.js, mocha and jsdom.
Also consider jsdom-global, a simpler alternative that also works outside of Mocha.
Use jsdom()
inside your describe(...)
block (or the global context). It will turn your Node.js environment into a mock browser environment supporting the full DOM and browser API. The variables window
, document
, history
(and so on) will then be available for use.
var jsdom = require('mocha-jsdom')
var expect = require('chai').expect
describe('mocha tests', function () {
jsdom()
it('has document', function () {
var div = document.createElement('div')
expect(div.nodeName).eql('DIV')
})
})
See examples/basic for an example of a basic setup.
As of jsdom 4.0.0, jsdom now requires io.js and will not work with Node.js 0.12 or below.
mocha-jsdom is a simple glue to integrate jsdom to mocha.
Invoking jsdom()
will inject before
and after
handlers to the current mocha suite which will setup and teardown jsdom. Here’s what it does:
Window: global.window
will be available as the jsdom.
Globals: global variables like document
and history
are propagated, and they’re cleaned up after tests run.
Error handling: jsdom errors are sanitized so that their stack traces are shortened.
NB: Before you try this library, learn about jsdom first. In fact, you may be able to integrate jsdom into your tests without this library; this is mostly syntactic sugar and reasonable defaults.
Perfect for testing small DOM-consuming utilities in the console. See test/jquery.js for an example.
describe('mocha tests', function () {
var $
jsdom()
before(function () {
$ = require('jquery')
})
it('works', function () {
document.body.innerHTML = '
hola
'
expect($("div").html()).eql('hola')
})
})
See examples/basic for an example of a basic setup.
You can also pass the source code via src
:
You can pass jsdom options:
When using with --watch
, you my encounter strange errors from 3rd-party libraries like jQuery not working properly.
In these cases, use require('mocha-jsdom').rerequire
instead of require()
. This will ensure that the require()
call will always happen.
var $
var jsdom = require('mocha-jsdom')
var rerequire = jsdom.rerequire
jsdom()
before(function () {
$ = rerequire('jquery')
})
Other mocha-jsdom specific options:
globalize
- propagates to values in window
to global
. defaults to true.
console
- allows you to use console.log
inside a jsdom script. defaults to true.
useEach
- bind to Mocha’s beforeEach
/afterEach
rather than before
/after
. defaults to false.
skipWindowCheck
- skips checking of window
at startup. When false, mocha-jsdom will throw an error if window
already exists. Defaults to false.
Yes, fully compatible with testling. A test suite using jsdom should be able to use testling.
See examples/basic for a setup that allows for testing via iojs (jsdom), testling, and mocha via the browser.

This collision code is incomplete and buggy. It only works in this specific example.
The box moves dx * delta every update, then the update function checks for collisions. If there is a collision, the ball's x velocity reverses.
This does not handle y collisions, angled collisions, and most importantly there's a bug where if the ball moves into the wall with one delta and move out of the wall with less delta, the ball can get caught in the wall. Also, try switching tabs.

'Crazed' Thai Smile passenger rips plane's emergency exit door open before takeoff
by Janine PuhakA spokesperson for Thai Smile Airways has apologized after a “crazed” passenger, who was reportedly drunk, ripped an emergency exit door open just moments before takeoff.
On Thursday, a domestic Thai Smile flight WE169 from Chiang Mai, Thailand, to Bangkok, was preparing to taxi when an unnamed male passenger exploded in a bizarre outburst and pulled an emergency exit door open.
STARBUCKS CUSTOMERS WITH HOLIDAY CUPS GET PRIORITY BOARDING WITH ALASKA AIRLINES FOR A LIMITED TIME
The sudden incident caused the Airbus A320’s inflatable slide to deploy on the tarmac, as 86 horrified passengers “screamed” in confusion, according to the Daily Mirror. The offender was quickly pinned down by aviation officials, removed from the plane and detained.
Local media described the man as a “crazed foreigner” who was “allegedly intoxicated,” per the Mirror. His door-destroying stunt is said to have caused over $19,700 in damage.

Though flight WE169 was scheduled to depart at 3:40 p.m., the incident delayed takeoff by about an hour and twenty minutes, The Sun reports, as officials investigated and safely closed the emergency exit door.
One witness lamented that the “drunk” man’s odd outburst caused “a lot of drama and a delay.”

On behalf of Thai Smile, a subsidiary of Thai Airways, a spokesperson for the parent company apologized for the unexpected turn of events.
''The incident occurred when the plane was about to depart from Chiang Mai International Airport for Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok,” they said. ''After the aircraft door had been successfully closed there was a wait for a taxi to take off.
''A foreign male passenger ran to open the emergency exit door next to the left wing of the plane. The incident caused the emergency door to be opened entirely and an emergency slide unfolded,” the spokesperson continued.
''The captain immediately suspended the flight and notified ground officials and security personnel to control the incident. The foreign man was detained but it is not yet clear what his motivation was to do this.''

Both buyers and sellers have resources available with Pellego and the NWMLS to provides information and analysis to help streamline the decision process. Pellego aggregates data from a variety of sources, providing instant comparable and investor analysis, making the listing or buying process simpler.
NWMLS uses a technology platform called
Corelogic,
the same organization with the industries largest reserved capacity of staff appraisers
and apprasial
technology platform. Corelogic provides a Real AVM value, including a high-low range and
a confidence score.
These values are engineered for brokers using a patented analytic models and nightly blind testing to provide confident, highly accruate property values.
Another useful resource available is Realist CoreLogic, a software reseearch solution that integrates tax, MLS data, and various other sources. Below is a quick overview of the platform.
Find tips here on how to prepare for an apprasial and what to expect.
In most states
up until the 1990's
brokerage clients were mainly owners listing a home, otherwise known as the principle or client, and the buyers were simply considered "customers" of the brokerage.
Today, state laws are different, both buyers and seller may be represented.
The orginal, true nature of a real estate brokerage remains the same, selling a home for the best price the market can offer is at the core of what brokers are trained to do.
One of the better overviews on how to determining the amount you may anticipate receiving is provided in the following video
One of the first steps is to obtain representation. Below is an overview on the agreement.
Below is a helpful video for a few documents that are useful to gather information to help list the property.
The first step for buyers in our competitive market is the secure financing and gain access to the NWMLS client portal to get alerts to your inbox the moment a listing hits the market.
Time is of the essence in a competitive market, and obtaining information and tools that allow quick, well informed decisions is imperative to obtain a winning contract.
After committing to a buyers agreement, below is a video on the process to obtain access to the NWMLS portal for buyers.
Compared to other industries, such as
certain financial services,
the real estate industry has a number of protection mechanisms for consumers including fudiacy duties for professionally licensed brokers.
The NWMLS TransactionDesk systematizes the statewide, standardized legal forms involved in a trasnaction for brokers.
This platform also integrates with Authentisign for paperless signing. Find details about the "Advanced Real Estate Technology" available on
this page.
Please find the lastest law of Real Estate Agency pamphlet here to find important information about fiduciary duties real estate brokerage firms and brokers have to their clients.
All brokerage firms are required to cover agent in their erros and omission insurance coverage, this is part of the required cost of doing business.
A few additional resources includes the Washington Realitors Association
legal hotline articles
(available to even non-members) including a search tool, catagory filter and write up on legal advice. Another
resource page
provides a list of the industries largest information providers.
Another resource in the state includes the Washington State Bar Association
LPO forms and Wasington Department of Revenue
forms
An attorney or a
limited practicing officer
are best suited to help prepare these forms.
There is no shortage of lending options, types of loans for buyers, and tax strategies to help prepare for a purchase.
Many financial intitutions have high competition for a borrowers. Pellego and Karl have recommendations for lenders and qualified intermediary (QIs) for many strategies.
The WA Housing Finance Commission and Down Payment Resource (DPR)®
are collaborating to raise awareness and educate Northwest MLS members on how to connect more homebuyers to Commission programs, through a new tool offered by Northwest MLS.
DPR's national databank of 2,500 local and state heombuyer programs for downpayment and closing-cost assistance assistance programs uses a proprietary rules engine to match available property listings with downpayment-assistance programs and buyers can enter their information to determine their eligibility.
Program information is updated each month to ensure accuracy.
Eligible properties are automatically flagged with a DPR icon on the listing databsse at NWMLS.

WSHFC also provides online training and commission-sponsored homebuyer education seminars
click here for details.
The Washington State Department of Financial Insititutions (DFI), the regulator for a variety of financial services, has a few resources such as a
consumer publications
and
owner help and assistance.
Investors planning to turn a profit should consider a 1031 Exchange, below is an overview on the process.
The first item to look for regarding property information is the Sellers Property Disclosure form (Form 17), a standardized legal form with a list of questions for the seller regarding the known conditions of the property. The video below details the general requirements.
A licensed inspector is a useful resource to obtain objective information to better make investment decision.
There are many highy qualified inspectors in the area, from a large locally
founded franchise,
shops that are also
licensed educators,
and well received
authors.
The cost drivers of an inspection is usually based on the size of the home, some inspectors specialize in
added services that fall outside of the stardard inspection
A value added services that may come, but not required, with an inspection are cost guides to help interpret the results. Many shops provide pricing guides, there are also 3rd party guides (see video below).
Construction online platforms are also a common resource, they report some of the larger datasets in the industry.
Find details below on what to expect during a home inspection and how to prepare below
As a side note, it may help when shopping for an inspections, especially on tight deadlines, to keep in mind the educational standards to obtain license are set by the state.
Washington state at least has standards, however they are minimal, arguably delapidated.
For example
, Washington State requires 120 hours of classroom training, and online training isn't accepted (pyshical classroom training is often at least three times the cost), whereas one of the higher standards on the country is in Texas State, which requires near three times the training, 330 hours of training and allows online training.
One of the largest educators in the country goes so far as to
mention workarounds
to the states standards in their marketing.
For what it's worth, I have written both the WA Department of Licensing and the Governors office, suggesting that it may be good for the local indsutry to reconsider the standards.
Real estate laws regulates how agency representation is allowed to structure commission agreements or are even allowed to disclose, particularly due to the competitive nature of the real estate brokerage business.
Pellego and Karl are a lean shop with minimal overhead, allowing us sustains the most competitive rates while not compromising the committed due diligience required to help optimize results.
The video below provides a breakdown about the listing and selling commissions and costs
How are a property's residential values calculated?
Every one of the
3000+ counties
in the US have their own method, typcially they're a fixed millage or levy rate system. In Washington State, we use a "Budget Based" system.
Below is an overview from King County about assessment on property values. Find more details about the process on
this page.

Ross: You think?!  I mean what, what am I gonna do? Rachels all like, I love you and, and lets work on this. And all I can think about is, What is she gonna do? What is she gonna say? when I tell her what I did.
Chandler: Well, before we answer that, I think we should address the more important question.
Ross: What?! Look, were trying to rebuild a relationship here, right. How am I supposed to do that here, without being totally honest with each other?
Joey: Look, Ross look, Im on board about this totally honesty thing, I am, just not about stuff thats gonna get you in trouble.
Chandler: Hes right.
Joey: Yeah, and there wont be a relationship left to rebuild.

Chandler: All right look, if you absolutely have to tell her, at least wait until the timings right. And thats what deathbeds are for.
Ross: Yeah, okay. (he plops down into one of the leather chairs, with the footrest extended.)
Joey: All right, okay, now, we just have to make sure she doesnt find out some other way. (spins the chair around so that Ross is facing him) Did you think about the trail?
Ross: What trail?
Joey: (stomps on the footrest which pops Ross up into a sitting position) The trail from the woman you did it with to the woman you hope never finds out who did it! (slapping his hands with each word) You always have to think about the trail!

Ross: Yeah. Listen, can you keep this information to yourself?

Issac: Yeah, we are.
Ross: No, were not.
Issac: Yeah, we are.
Ross: No, were not!!
Issac: Okay, were not.
Ross: Right.
Issac: But, we are.

Issac: I can promise not to tell her again.
[Scene: Phoebes Work, Ross is now trying to stop Jasmine from telling Phoebe.]

Jasmine: You did a bad thing!
Ross: Yes, I did.
Jasmine: Very bad!
Ross: Very bad.

Phoebe: Were all right.
Monica: Its okay, its okay.
Phoebe: Were all right.
Monica: We were just waxing our legs.
Chandler: Off?!!

Chandler: Yeah, well I dont think you can make that statement, unless youve been kicked in an area that God only meant to be treated nicely.
Joey: Yeah, I-I think that women just have a lower threshold of pain than men, thats all. I mean, come on, its just a little wax.
Phoebe: Oh yeah, come here.
Chandler: Oh, thats mature.
Joey: Okay, fine, so now what, I just pull it off?
Phoebe: Uh-huh.
Monica: Thats right.
(Joey laughs, pulls it off, then does a high-pitched whine.)
[Cut to Living Room, Rachel is trying to close the door on Ross.]
Ross: (forcing the door open) Come on, Rachel, come on! Talk to me! Please!!
[Cut to Monica's bedroom, Chandler slowly closes the door, and we hear Rachel from the living room.]
Rachel: I cant talk to you. I cant even look at you right now!
Monica: What?
Chandler: Nothing, nothing.
Monica: (going over to listen at the door) Rachel said everything was okay.
Phoebe: (to Joey) What, what are they talking about?
Ross: Rachel?
[Cut to Living Room]
Rachel: Just get away from me!
Ross: No, it was a mistake! I made a mistake! Okay?
Rachel: A mistake?! What were you trying to put it in? Her purse?!
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Phoebe: Whe-where did he put it?!

[Cut to Monica's bedroom, both Monica and Phoebe gasp.]
Monica: Oh my God.
Phoebe: Oh, I knew something had to be wrong, because my fingernails did not grow at all yesterday.
Chandler: Yeah, well, I guess they had a fight, and he got drunk....
Monica: Oh!! (hits Chandler and Joey in the head) You guys knew about this and you didnt tell us?!
Chandler: (to Joey) He has sex, and we get hit in our heads.
[Cut to Living Room]
Rachel: (opening the door) Y'know what, I want you to leave! Get outta here!
Ross: No!!
Rachel: Just get out! Now!!
Ross: No!! No!! I wanna stay. I wanna talk about this.
Rachel: Okay! All right! How was she?
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Chandler: Uh-oh.
[Cut to Living Room]
Ross: What?
Rachel: Was she good?
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Joey: Dont answer that.
[Cut to Living Room]
Rachel: Come on Ross! You said you wanted to talk about it, lets talk about it!! How was she?
Ross: She was...
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Joey: Awful! Horrible!
Chandler: She was not good. Not good.
Joey: She was nothing compared to you.
[Cut to Living Room]
Ross: She, she was different.
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Joey: Ewwwww!
Chandler: Uh-oh.
[Cut to Living Room]
Rachel: Good different?
Ross: Nobody likes change.
(Rachel picks up a newspaper and starts beating him with it.)
Ross: What? Okay, okay, okay, okay.
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Phoebe: Should we do something?
Chandler: Yeah, never cheat on Rachel.
[Cut to Living Room]
Ross: Im sorry, okay, Im sorry. I wa-I was disgusted with myself, and this morning I was so, I was so upset and then I got your message and I was so happy, and all I wanted was to get her out of my apartment as fast as possible.
Rachel: Whoa!! Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. What time did your little friend leave? (Ross cant answer that) Oh my God. She was there? She was still there? She was in there, when I was in there?!
(Ross hands Rachel back the newspaper, and she starts beating him with it again.)
Ross: Listen. Oh hey, hey, the important thing was that she meant, she meant nothing to me!
Rachel: And yet she was worth jeopardising our relationship!!
(She throws the paper at him, misses and hits Monicas door, they all jump back at the sound.)
Ross: Look, I didnt think there was a relationship to jeopardise. I thought we were broken up.
Rachel: We were on a break!
Ross: That, for all I knew would, could last forever. That to me is a break-up.

Ross: Look, Im not trying to get out of anything, okay. I thought our relationship was dead!

[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Joey: Y'know what, I dont think we should listen to this anymore. (Goes to open the door)
Monica: (stopping him) What, what are you doing? You cant go out there.
Joey: Why not?! (to Chandler) Im hungry.
Monica: Because theyll know weve been listening.
[Cut to Living Room]
Rachel: God! And to have to hear about it from Gunther!!
Ross: Come on! Like I wanted him to tell you, I ran all over the place trying to make sure that didnt happen!
Rachel: Oh, that is so sweet. I think Im falling in love with you all over again.
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Chandler: Y'know what, I think we can go out there. I mean they have more important things to worry about.
Joey: Yeah, well be fine.
[Cut to Living Room]
Ross: Look Rachel, I wanted to tell you, I thought I should, I-I did, and then Chandler and Joey convinced me not to.
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Chandler: (handing Monica the wax) Wax the door shut, were never leaving, ever.
[Later, Phoebe is on the phone, theyre all still trapped in Monicas bedroom.]
Phoebe: Hi, its Phoebe. Listen someones gonna have to take my 9:00 with Mr. Rehack, cause its like 9:15 now, and Im not there.

Rachel: All right. Lets say I had slept with Mark. Would you have been able to forgive me?
Ross: (pause) Yes I would.
Rachel: Youd be okay if you knew that Mark had kissed me, and been naked with me, and made love to me?
Ross: (less sure) Yes.
Rachel: You knew that our hot, sweaty, writhing bodies were....
Ross: (covering his ears and screaming) La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! Okay, okay, yeah, I would have been devastated but, I would still want to be with you. Because its, I mean its you.
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
All: Ohhhhh!
[Later, Ross and Rachel are sitting in the kitchen.]
Ross: What?
Rachel: Im thinking, Im gonna order a pizza.
Ross: Order a pizza like, I forgive you?
(She turns around and glares at him, he turns away.)
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Joey: Oh man, pizza? I like pizza. (makes like he is trying to send a telepathic message to Rachel) Put olives on the pizza.
Phoebe: We could eat the wax! Its organic.
Chandler: Oh great, food with hair on it.
Phoebe: No, not the used wax.
Chandler: Because that would be crazy?
[Cut to Living Room]
Ross: Hey, can I, can I get in on that? Because Im kinda hungry myself.
Rachel: Fine. (on phone) Hi! Yes, Id like to order a large pizza.
Ross: No anchovies.
Rachel: With ah, extra anchovies.
Ross: Thats okay, Ill just pick em off.
Rachel: Yeah, and could you please chop some up and just put it right there in the sauce?
[Cut to later, they are finishing up the pizza, theres one piece left.]
Ross: You can have the last piece, if you want.
Rachel: Well, I should think so. You slept with someone.
[Cut to Monica's bedroom, theyre all eating the wax, Chandler and Phoebe, dont like it. Joey tries some and makes a face like: Hey, thats not so bad.]
Phoebe: Theyre gonna get through this, arent they?
Chandler: Yeah, come on, its Ross and Rachel, theyve got too.
Monica: What if they dont?
(Long pause.)
Joey: You think I need a new walk?
Chandler: What?
Joey: Well y'know, Ive been walking the same way since high school. Y'know, y'know how some guys they walk into a room and everybody takes notice. I think I need a take notice walk.
Chandler: Are you actually saying these words?
[Later, in the living room, Rachel is sitting on the couch, Ross is on the chair.]
Ross: What, now youre not even taking to me? (moves over to the coffee table) Look Rachel, I-Im sorry, okay, Im sorry, I was out of my mind. I thought Id lost you, I didnt know what to do. Come on! Come on, how insane must I have been to do something like this? Huh? I-I dont cheat right, I, thats not me, Im not Joey!
[Cut to Monica's bedroom]
Joey: Whoa-ho-ho! (He looks at Chandler, who gives him a come on look.) Yeah, okay.
Monica: Hey. Its three in the morning. They dont know that Ive come home yet. You notice how neither one of them are wondering where I am.
Phoebe: Yeah, y'know, people can be so self-involved.
[Cut to Living Room]
Ross: Y'know what, y'know what, Im-Im not the one that wanted that, that break, okay. Youre the one that bailed on us. Youre the one that, that ran when things got just a little rough!
Rachel: Thats....
Ross: Thats what?!
Rachel: That is neither here nor there.
Ross: Okay, well here we are. Now were in a tough spot again, Rach. What do you want to do? How do you want to handle it? Huh? Do you wanna fight for us?  Okay? And Im sorry, I wish I could take it back, but I cant. (We see Monica and Phoebe are almost in tears.)  Rachel, I love you so much.
(He kisses her on her shoulder, then her neck, then the side of her face, then just before he kisses her on the lips....)
Rachel: No Ross!! (stands up and moves away from him) Dont!  It doesnt work that way. It doesnt just make it better. Okay?
Ross: Okay, okay, okay.
Rachel: (softly) I think you should go.
Ross: What?
Rachel: (softly) I really think you need to go now.
Ross: (moving over to stand in front of her) Okay, okay. This morning you said there was nothing so big that we couldnt work past it together...

Ross: Look, look, theres got to be a way we can work past this. Okay, (takes a hold of one of her arms.) I cant imagine, I cant imagine my life without you. (Both of them are starting to cry.) Without, without these arms, and your face, and this heart. Your good heart Rach, (drops to his knees and hugs her around her waist) and, and....
Rachel: (crying) No. I cant, youre a totally different person to me now. I used to think of you as somebody that would never, ever hurt me, ever. God, and now I just cant stop picturing with her, I cant, (Ross stands up and backs away) it doesnt matter what you say, or what you do, Ross. Its just changed, everything. Forever.
[We see the rest of them are now crying.]
Ross: (crying) Yeah, but this cant be it, I mean.
(Pause)
Rachel: Then how come it is?
Closing Credits
[Scene: Monicas bedroom.]
Phoebe: Theyve been quiet for a long time.
Joey: Maybe she killed him?
Chandler: Lets go.
[Cut to Living Room, Rachel is sleeping on the couch, Ross is gone, the rest of them can finally emerge from their cell. They all wave good bye, and start to walk quietly out, as Monica goes and puts a blanket on Rachel. Joey starts walking all hunched over and bobbing his shoulders as he goes.]
Chandler: (to Joey) Is that your new walk?
Joey: (whispering) No, I really have to pee.
