Abstract

In what is seen as a landmark judgement, the Western Zone Bench of the National Green Tribunal of India has criticized the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) for continuing to reclaim land in violation of the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification, and has ordered the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), JNPT and the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) to pay US$15.3 mn to 1,630 fishermen families affected by JNPT’s project of creating an additional berth at the port in Navi Mumbai.
