The Supreme Court Tuesday said that setting up of National Green Tribunal benches in every state will encourage people to take up environmental issues. A bench of Justices K M Joseph and Hrishikesh Roy said every case ultimately lands up in the top court. "We do not want to use the word, but the legislature has been dumb in this regard. We don't want to use the word but that is the word...every case ultimately ends up in this court," the bench observed. Attorney General K K Venugopal, appearing for the Centre, submitted that it is the prerogative of the legislature to provide for statutory appeals to the apex court. The bench asked Venugopal if having a bench of the NGT in each state would be possible.
