‘Approach National Green Tribunal against KSPCB’s closure order’
The Hindu
KCDC contends that no prior notice was issued before passing the order for closure
The High Court of Karnataka on Friday directed the Karnataka Compost Development Corporation (KCDC) to approach the National Green Tribunal (NGT) questioning the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board’s January 27, 2022, order for closing the KCDC’s compost unit in the city for not adhering to certain environmental norms.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice Suraj Govindaraj said that the petition filed by the KCDC, a Government of Karnataka undertaking, is not maintainable before the High Court as a remedy of appeal in law against the KSPCB’s order is provided before the NGT.
