Supreme Court Advances Hearing on National Green Tribunal Members' Tenure
The Supreme Court has agreed to advance the hearing on the tenure of National Green Tribunal (NGT) members to before September 8, following concerns from the NGT Bar Association. The association warned that three zonal benches, including the Southern and Western Zone Benches, may become non-functional after the current tenure extension expires, as the NGT Act does not allow single-member benches. The court noted a new law is in place, but the association highlighted that fresh appointments under this framework could take months, potentially limiting functioning to the principal bench in Delhi.
