NGT dismisses review plea challenging environment clearance given to NPCIL in Haryana
The National Green Tribunal has dismissed a plea challenging the environmental clearance granted to Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) for setting up a Nuclear Power Plant in Haryana’s Fatehabad district.
A bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice A K Goel said no case is made out for review by raising a contention that there is no preparation of conservation plan for the area.
“If there is a violation of an order of this tribunal, review application is not the remedy. Moreover, the review application is barred by limitation having been filed after more than two years of the order while the limitation provided is 30 days under Rule 22 of the National Green Tribunal (Practices and Procedure) Rules, 2011,” the bench said.
