The Southern Bench of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), the first permanent Zonal
bench, became operational in Chennai. It would cover four southern States and the
Union Territories of Puducherry and Lakshadweep.The guiding principles of the
Bench would be sustainable development, precautionary principle and the ‘polluters
pay’ concept. Of the over 400 cases filed and 250 cases disposed of by the
Principal Bench in New Delhi, the cases from the southern zone were dominant,
which could be due to high level of awareness. Already, environment-related cases
in the Green Benches of the High Courts of the southern States were being
transferred to the NGT’s southern zonal branch. NGT has got original and appellate
jurisdiction on matters pertaining to seven Acts related to water, air, forest
conservation, environment protection and biological diversity.

Centre criticized for reducing CST compensation to states
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha criticized the Central Govt for cutting down CST (Central Sales Tax) compensation
to states by linking it with VAT rate revision. In her letter to the PM Dr.
Manmohan Singh, she held that whilst the Centre had accorded to compensate
states for the revenue loss for 2010-11 also, the entitled compensation was
indiscriminately restricted. She also held that this was done by deducting additional revenue realised via revision of
VAT rate from 4% to 5%. Previously, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had also made alike protestation.
