The Madras High Court has stayed a government order cancelling the registration of Greenpeace India, while observing that the Tamil Nadu Registrar of Societies (RoS) had not followed principles of natural justice, according to a release issue by Greenpeace India.
“This is the sixth time in the last year and a half that Greenpeace and its activists have succeeded against multiple attempts to restrict its operations and funding, as well as to shut it down,” Greenpeace India said in a statement.
Priya Pillai of Greenpeace India said, “We were confident the courts would agree that Greenpeace is on sound legal footing and has done nothing wrong, notwithstanding the government’s ridiculous allegations of fraud in this instance. Our accounts are an open book and on our website for all to inspect.”
