Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010, particularly regarding its impact on the jurisdiction of High Courts under Articles 226 and 227. The court held that the provisions of the NGT Act do not oust the jurisdiction of the High Courts, affirming the importance of maintaining judicial oversight. Consequently, the petitioners' challenge to the Act was dismissed, reinforcing the NGT's role while ensuring High Court jurisdiction remains intact.
