NGT rejects Manoj Mishra's plea to use Art of Living funds

Bangalore: At today's hearing before the Hon'ble National Green Tribunal, three decisions were taken. All three were in favor of The Art of Living:

  1. Petitioner Manoj Mishra's request to immediately utilize the funds deposited by The Art of Living was rejected.
  2. Mishra's request to hear the case without giving us a chance to put in our objections to the quantification report was also rejected.
  3. The Hon'ble Tribunal did not act upon Mishra’s request to take action against us for the opinion expressed by us on our website.

Contrary to media reports, the Hon'ble Tribunal did not come down on us but in fact on Manoj Mishra. None of the actions they wanted to be taken were allowed. In court, banter is irrelevant. What is relevant are the decisions, all of which were in our favor. Unfortunately, some sections of the media have misreported the case.

We have faith in the judiciary and are confident that truth will prevail.
