As per the provisions of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010, which of the following is correct?

I. The Tribunal shall not be bound by the procedure laid down by the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 but shall be guided by the principles of natural justice

II. The Tribunal shall have power to regulate its own procedure

III. The Tribunal shall be bound by the rules of evidence contained in the Indian Evidence Act, 1872

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The Tribunal is guided by natural justice and may regulate its own procedure, so the first two statements are correct. Section 19 frees it from the procedure laid down in the Code of Civil Procedure and from binding application of the Evidence Act rules. This procedural flexibility still requires a fair opportunity to be heard and compliance with the NGT Act; it does not make the Tribunal free to act arbitrarily.
