NGT bar body moves SC over vacant judicial & expert posts

New Delhi, Nov 18 (UNI) The National Green Tribunal (NGT) Bar Association has approached the Supreme Court seeking urgent directions to fill vacant posts of judicial and expert members at the NGT’s principal and zonal benches, warning that the functioning of the environmental tribunal is at serious risk of grinding to a halt.
The petition filed by the NGT Bar Association of the Principal Bench, New Delhi, pointed out that although Section 4(1) of the NGT Act mandates at least 10 judicial members and 10 expert members, the tribunal is currently operating with only four judicial members and six expert members against a sanctioned strength of 20 members each.
The plea contends that the delayed appointments, combined with impending retirements of key members, will make it impossible to meet the statutory quorum, leading to what it terms a “virtual shutdown” of the tribunal.
