Environment law is a very broad area of the law which governs the statutes concerning the environment – including regulations and cleanup regarding hazardous or chemical materials and consequences of individuals who violate environment statutes.
It depends on case to case. For instance, if someone dumps trash or hazardous material onto your property, you could force him or her to pay for the clean up. You will need to speak with a lawyer in order to determine what compensation you can seek.
The NGT was established on October 18, 2010 under the National Green Tribunal Act 2010, passed by the Central Government. The stated objective of the Central Government was to provide a specialized forum for effective and speedy disposal of cases pertaining to environment protection, conservation of forests and for seeking compensation for damages caused to people or property due to violation of environmental laws or conditions specified while granting permissions.
