...RESPONDENT(s)

O R D E R These

appeals

have

been

filed

by

Shri

Amarnathji

Shrine Board with regard to the Holy Cave in Amarnath. During the course of hearing, it has transpired that the matter was virtually taken suo motu by the National Green Tribunal and directions passed on 13th December, 2017 which were clarified subsequently on 14 th December, 2017. In our view, the matter having been taken suo motu in the manner in which it has been, particularly since the application filed before the Tribunal pertained to the Shrine at Vaishno Devi, we are of the view that the Tribunal

exceeded

its

jurisdiction

in

giving

the

directions that it did. In view of the above, we set aside the orders passed Signature Not Verified Digitally signed by MEENAKSHI KOHLI Date: 2018.04.18 17:32:55 IST Reason:
