Under which of the following scenarios can the National Green Tribunal (NGT) exercise its original jurisdiction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The NGT has original jurisdiction over civil disputes involving a substantial environmental question arising from implementation of an enactment in Schedule I. The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 is one of those enactments, so the described civil case falls within section 14. An appeal against an administrative order invokes a different form of jurisdiction rather than commencing an original environmental dispute.
