‘NGT following resolution passed in 2016’

The Hindu  

Under fire for its decision to rehear 18 cases in which the judgment was reserved by the National Green Tribunal, officials at the green panel on Friday clarified that chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel was following a full house resolution passed in 2016. The resolution says that if the judgments are not pronounced within six weeks, the chairperson can pass “appropriate orders”, said a NGT official. Defending the decision of relisting the cases where the judgments had been reserved by some of its Benches earlier, an official at the NGT said: “In a full house resolution passed in November 2016, it was decided that judgments need to be pronounced within six weeks of them being reserved. The decision was taken keeping in mind expeditious disposal of cases.” In July this year, chairperson Justice Goel had asked the respective Benches to pronounce pending judgments by August 31, especially for matters pending for over three months.
