The National Green Tribunal on Tuesday rejected the plea of Art of living (AOl) that it should not be forced to pay an environment compensation of Rs4.75 crore in cash instead of bank guarantee.
The NGT also slapped a fine of Rs5,000 on AOl for filing such an application which “lacks bonafide” and directed it to pay in a week the remainder of the costs imposed on it for damaging Yamuna’s biodiversity.
