The Hindu
Delhi High Court asked the Centre to respond to a petition by the NGO Environics Trust challenging the cancellation of its registration under the FCRA.
The Delhi High Court on Friday asked the Centre to respond to a petition by the NGO Environics Trust challenging the cancellation of its registration under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).
The HC asked the Centre to file a reply to the NGO’s petition within four weeks.
“The petitioner has approached this court challenging an order dated March 4, 2024, cancelling the registration under the FCRA. Issue Notice. Reply be filed in four weeks,” the court said.
The counsel for the NGO said the cancellation order was passed by the Centre without hearing the organisation.
“They have to give us a personal hearing before they pass the order of cancellation. There was no hearing given to us. For that very ground this order has to go,” the counsel said.
The NGO also urged the court to permit it to utilise the amount lying in its accounts for payment of salaries to its employees.
The Centre’s counsel said the petition was not maintainable as there was another remedy of appeal available to the NGO.
