As Indianmandarins had reported first on 22 June 2018 Supreme Court Justice Adarsh Kumar Goyal was on Friday appointed Chairperson of National Green Tribunal (NGT). Justice Goyal completed his tenure today (06.07.2018).
Following the retirement of Justice Swatantar Kumar as the NGT chairperson on December 20, 2017, the apex post in the tribunal was lying vacant. Though Justice Umesh Dattatraya Salvi was serving as the acting chairperson of the NGT, he also retired from the tribunal on February 13, 2018.
Justice Jawad Rahim was drafted as the acting chairperson of the NGT by superseding Justice Raghuvendra Singh Rathore.
In this background, Justice Adarsh Kumar Goyal's appointment as NGT chief is seen as a major move in the legal fraternity.
