NGT imposed Rs 100-cr fine without hearing Kochi Corporation’s version, says advocate

It was on March 6 that the NGT registered a suo motu case over the Brahmapuram fire and sent notices to the state government and Kochi Corporation. When the case was heard on March 17, the NGT did not allow Thomas, who appeared for the City Corporation, to present the local body’s arguments.
