Court frowns on ministers over Koodankulam launch date [1]

With the protest against Koodankulam nuclear power plant entering its second year, the Madras High Court hearing two petitions against the project Thursday came down on union ministers, the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) and the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB).

"Hearing the two petitions, the Madras High Court came down heavily on the union ministers, saying that they respect only the Supreme Court and not the other courts. The court also asked how central ministers can announce KKNPP (Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project) commissioning date when a case is being heard," P. Sundararajan, a lawyer, told IANS.
