What is jurisdiction of National Green Tribunal ?
Over all civil cases where a substantial question relating to environment is involved and such question arises out of the implementation of the enactments specified in Schedule I
Under Sec. 14 of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010, the Tribunal has jurisdiction over all civil cases where a substantial question relating to environment (including enforcement of any legal right relating to environment) is involved and such question arises out of the implementation of the enactments specified in Schedule I (Water Act, Air Act, Forest Conservation Act, EPA, Public Liability Insurance Act, Biological Diversity Act).
The Tribunal has no criminal jurisdiction, and it cannot hear every environment related case, since matters outside the Schedule I enactments (for example Wildlife Protection Act, Indian Forest Act) are excluded. So the broader options are wrong.
Hence, the answer is: over all civil cases where a substantial question relating to environment is involved and such question arises out of the implementation of the enactments specified in Schedule I.
