Bombay HC Full Bench Quashes Notices Transferring "Cherry Picked" NGT Cases From Goa to Delhi

Live Law  

A full bench of the Bombay High Court has quashed administrative notices issued by the Registrar General of the National Green Tribunal "cherry picking" cases relating to Goa from the Western Zone bench at Pune and transferring them to the Northern bench at New Delhi. On the main contention of moving cases away from Pune bench to New Delhi, the court accepted the submissions made by the petitioner's lawyer Norma Alvares that the five notices taken together had resulted in cases from Goa that were being heard by the Western Zonal Bench of the NGT at Pune being abruptly taken up, for no good reason and without clarity as to which case would be taken and when, by a so-called "Special Bench" sitting in New Delhi, and comprising members of the Northern Bench joined on VC by members of the Western Zonal Bench. The High Court full bench observed, "There is no reason why the Western Zone Bench should have to wait online on VC till the work of the Special Bench is over except to lend some colour of legitimacy that the Special Bench is not usurping jurisdiction because the two Western Zone Bench Members are also present online. It is unclear to anyone, even to us, which matters are to be taken by the Special Bench or why, and which will continue before the Western Zonal Bench," the full bench observed.
