Talk:National Green Tribunal Act, 2010

Jurisdiction
The Tribunal has Original Jurisdiction on matters of “substantial question relating to environment” (i.e. a community at large is affected, damage to public health at broader level) & “damage to environment due to specific activity” (such as pollution). However there is no specific method is defined in Law for determining “substantial” damage to environment, property or public health. There is restricted access to an individual only if damage to environment is substantial. The powers of tribunal related to an award are equivalent to Civil court and tribunal may transmit any order/award to civil court have local jurisdiction.

Also Tribunal is competent to hear cases for several acts such as Forest (Conservation) Act, Biological Diversity Act, Environment (Protection) Act, Water & Air (Prevention & control of Pollution) Acts etc and also have appellate jurisdiction related to above acts after establishment of Tribunal within a period of 30 days of award or order received by aggrieved party. The Bill says that decision taken by majority of members shall be binding and every order of Tribunal shall be final. However an appeal against order, award of Tribunal shall lie to Supreme Court provided appellant shall make an appeal within 90 days of commencement of award but Supreme Court can entertain appeal even after 90 days if appellant satisfied SC by giving sufficient reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahesharora (talk • contribs) 22:52, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Regarding DPCC (Delhi Pollution Control Committee)
DPCC is not under NGT. Editor or creator may had wrongly perceived the news article of The Hindu. In the article, it was only written that NGT may transfer the power of DPCC back to the CPCB which had originally delegated the power to the former. DPCC in no way works for NGT or is under it or related to it any way. I may have edited the page but it would have been reverted. So, I chose to add a discussion on this topic for other editors to contribute their valuable opinion. Ketan rana123 (talk) 06:05, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
