Section 21(3) Water Act | Oral Notice Valid Only If Agent Present and No Objection Raised : NGT
The National Green Tribunal ruled that an oral inspection notice under Section 21(3) of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act is legally sufficient only when an authorized agent of the unit is present and does not object, reinforcing procedural fairness in pollution enforcement. This clarifies the threshold for admissibility of environmental samples and invalidates compensation calculated on flawed default periods without proper notice.
