#National Green Tribunal Act

NGT invokes suo motu powers to halt illegal hill-cutting in Himachal Pradesh after a citizen's complaint, ordering joint inspections by forest, mining, and pollution control authorities. The ruling mandates production of environmental clearances and imposes a stop-work order until legality is verified, setting a precedent for public grievances in environmental violations.

National Green Tribunal dismisses application as withdrawn after full remediation of drainage and waste issues, setting precedent for voluntary compliance in environmental cases.

NGT dismisses generic petition on mass tree felling in Bolangir, holding that environmental litigation demands specific, substantiated allegations-not general grievances.
