NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The National Green Tribunal (NGT) panel said a government order to close down resources company Vedanta Ltd's copper smelter after protests by environment activists turned violent was a case of administrative overreach, said lawyers involved in the case.
The committee set up by NGT said the closure of the plant in Tamil Nadu state was against the principles of natural justice, said Rakesh Sharma, the lawyer for the state government.
The court will decide on the panel's report on Dec. 7.
