Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) was established on October 18, 2010, under the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010 [3]. Its primary objective is the effective and expeditious disposal of cases concerning environmental protection, conservation of forests, and other natural resources [2]. The NGT has the authority to provide relief and compensation for damages to persons and property resulting from environmental harm [1]. Crucially, the NGT is not bound by the procedure laid down under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 [1]. Instead, it is guided by the principles of natural justice, allowing it to handle multi-disciplinary environmental disputes with greater flexibility and speed [1]. Therefore, the statement claiming it is bound by the Code of Civil Procedure is incorrect.
