High Court sets aside NCLT order regarding windmills

The High Court of Karnataka has quashed the order of National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) that had passed an order allowing the operations of windmills on forest land in state to a Mumbai-based company. The HC said the tribunal did not have jurisdiction over matter of setting aside a government order. The NCLT had no jurisdiction to direct functioning/continuing of the windmill without forest clearance, the Court said.
