Question

The National Green Tribunal Act, 2010 was enacted in consonance with which of the following provisions of the Constitution of India?
1. Right to healthy environment, construed as a part of Right to life under Article 21
2. Provision of grants for raising the level of administration in the Scheduled Areas for the welfare of Scheduled Tribes under Article 275(1)
3. Powers and functions of Gram Sabha as mentioned under Article 243(A)
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the National Green Tribunal NGT was established specifically to provide for the effective and expeditious disposal of cases relating to environmental protection.

The preamble of the NGT Act explicitly states that it was enacted to give effect to the right to a healthy environment, which the Supreme Court of India has interpreted as a fundamental component of the Right to Life under Article 21 of the Constitution.

Provisions 2 and 3 are incorrect in this context. Article 275 1 relates to financial grants for the welfare of Scheduled Tribes and administration of Scheduled Areas, while Article 243 A pertains to the powers of the Gram Sabha in the Panchayati Raj system. Neither of these constitutional provisions served as the legal basis or the primary objective for the enactment of the National Green Tribunal Act.
