The Bombay High at Goa has today by a landmark order quashed and set aside the malafide move of the Goa Government to shift the Goa cases before the National Green Tribunal (NGT) from Pune to Delhi.
The High Court verdict is a victory for the people of Goa and Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar should infact apologize to Goans for the very mischievous move of the government which has been rightly and promptly thwarted by the High Court. The government’s attempt to highhandedly transfer Goa cases from NGT’s Pune bench all the way to Delhi was done deviously to make it difficult for the litigants while also opening a very lucrative window of opportunity for Atmaram Nadkarni and his bandwagon of advocates now stationed in Delhi. The move of the Government was anti-people and a clear attempt to deny justice to the common man by allowing the State to ignore or even partake in environmental violations. Instead of bringing justice to the doorstep, the government was trying to burden the people of Goa to travel all the way to Delhi for seeking justice in NGT related matters in a clear ploy to keep Temples of Justice out of reach.
