The Supreme Court orders a refund of a ₹5 crore environmental compensation fine that was paid by the Art of Living foundation after damage to the Yamuna floodplains.
According to both outlets, the court overturns an earlier order and directs the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to refund the amount. India Today reports the refund direction as applying to the fine that the foundation had paid, while The Hindu specifies that the compensation deposit is ₹5 crore and frames the decision as the Supreme Court overturning an order against the Art of Living.
While both sources agree on the core outcome—refund ordered and DDA directed to pay it back—each outlet emphasizes slightly different phrasing. India Today focuses on the refund of the “fine” for alleged damage, while The Hindu describes it as an overturning of the order and cites the exact compensation amount and the DDA’s role in refunding the deposit.
