National Environmental Tribunal Act, 1995 see National Green Tribunal Act, 2010

This authoritative edition presents the complete text of the National Environmental Tribunal Act, 1995, which introduced a statutory framework for providing compensation and handling claims arising from environmental accidents involving hazardous substances. Designed to enforce strict liability principles and provide a specialized adjudicatory mechanism, the Act marked a crucial stage in India’s evolution toward environmental justice. Before the establishment of the National Green Tribunal under the NGT Act, 2010, the Tribunal created under this Act played a key role in addressing industrial accidents and pollution-related damage. This book offers a clear, well-organized layout of the Act, including jurisdictional provisions, claim procedures, definitions, and compensation guidelines. Ideal for academic research, comparative environmental law studies, and understanding transitional developments in Indian environmental jurisprudence, this volume helps readers track the movement from administrative mechanisms to specialized environmental courts. With its precise formatting and easy navigation, it serves as a valuable reference for practitioners, policymakers, students, and institutions invested in environmental governance and industrial liability.
