National Environment Appellate Authority Act, 1997 see National Green Tribunal Act, 2010

This edition provides the complete and accurately reproduced text of the National Environment Appellate Authority Act, 1997, a foundational law that governed appeals against environmental clearances before India’s dedicated Green Tribunal system came into force. The book offers a clean, structured presentation of the Act along with section-wise headings, enabling readers to understand the Authority’s constitution, jurisdiction, and procedures for adjudicating environmental grievances. Though the National Environment Appellate Authority was later replaced by the National Green Tribunal under the NGT Act, 2010, this statute continues to hold significance in understanding the evolution of environmental governance, the shift from administrative adjudication to specialized environmental courts, and the legal transition in environmental jurisprudence. This volume is especially useful for academic research, comparative legal studies, and background reading for environmental law practitioners who deal with cases spanning the pre-NGT era. With its organized layout and practical utility, it serves as an essential reference for libraries, law colleges, policymakers, and scholars of environmental regulation in India.
