Under section 26 of National Green Tribunal Act, 2010 what is the penalty for failure to comply with the orders of the Tribunal.
Imprisonment up to three years or with fine up to Rs. 10 crore or with both
Section 26(1) of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010 provides that whoever fails to comply with any order, award or decision of the Tribunal shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine which may extend to ten crore rupees, or with both.
Where the failure or contravention continues, an additional fine of up to twenty-five thousand rupees may be imposed for every day of continuing failure. Under Section 26(2), a company is punishable with fine up to twenty-five crore rupees, with an additional fine up to one lakh rupees per day.
