Hon'ble Attau Rahman Masoodi,J. Hon'ble Brij Raj Singh,J.

¶167

This bunch of writ petitions involves an important question of law as to whether a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India would be maintainable in respect of the matter, of which the cognizance and jurisdiction lies before the National Green Tribunal by virtue of Section 14 of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010 (for short "the Act, 2010"). Section 14 of the Act, 2010 reads as under:-

¶168

"(1) The Tribunal shall have the 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.

¶169

(2) The Tribunal shall hear the disputes arising from the questions referred to in sub-section (1) and settle such disputes and pass order thereon.

¶170

(3) No application for adjudication of dispute under this section shall be entertained by the Tribunal unless it is

¶171

made within a period of six months from the date on which the cause of action for such dispute first arose: Provided that the Tribunal may, if it is satisfied that the applicant was prevented by sufficient cause from filing the application within the said period, allow it to be filed within a further period not exceeding sixty days."

¶172

At the very threshold, it is to be noted that the jurisdiction exercised by the National Green Tribunal is two fold, namely, (a) original (b) appellate. The original jurisdiction is exercised by virtue of Section 14 of the Act, 2010, whereas the appellate jurisdiction is exercised under Section 16 of the Act, 2010. The respective jurisdictions are defined and enumerated under the two provisions.

¶173

The environment and industry in the modern world have to co-exist. The environment is a natural necessity to the existence of human society, whereas the industry has emerged on account of the consumptive needs required for day-to-day life. On the one hand, the human society is bound to maintain the standards of ecological balance, but on the other, it cannot compromise and detach from the consumptive needs which again are necessaary to ensure the survival of human society and are indispensable.

¶174

The cause of pollution of the environment has been attracting the attention of the courts of law since last many decades. A principle of "polluter should pay" emerged first time in the case of Indian Council for Enviro-Legal Action and others Vs. Union of India and others, (1996) 3 SCC 212. The directions issued by the Hon'ble Supreme Court remaining uncomplied, gave rise to litigation before this Court as well as before the Hon'ble Supreme Court time and again.

¶175

It appears that a writ petition by the Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti (Writ Petition (C) No.375 of 2012, Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti and another Vs. Union of India and others was decided on 22.2.2017 reported in (2017) 5 SCC 326). The Supreme Court by issuing certain directions relegated the matter to the National Green Tribunal for going into various aspects of the grievance in order to work out a complete mechanism both to

¶176

safeguard the environment through remedial measures and monitoring the enforcement of prescribed measures so as to regulate the industry under various laws.

¶177

On an overall view of the matter, we gather that a two dimensional solution was evolved to deal with the protection of environment so as to serve the twin objects which are indispensably interconnected to the society. Firstly, the remedial measures for setting up the ETPs/CETPs/STPs as per the report of the Central Pollution Control Board submitted to the National Green Tribunal on 30.5.2019 and 19.7.2019 was approved by the National Green Tribunal.

¶178

The second dimension of the environmental protection postulates the monitoring of Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs)/ETPs/STPs. A report to this effect was also submitted by the Central Pollution Control Board on 14.8.2019 and the same has also been taken into account by the National Green Tribunal.

¶179

In the matter relegated by the Hon'ble Supreme Court i.e. Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti (supra), the National Green Tribunal vide order dated 3.8.2018 had initially directed the Central Pollution Control Board to submit the reports in the light of the judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and as per the direction contained in paragraph (vi) of the order aforesaid, we gather that for setting up of treatment plants, necessary contribution by the Centre, State and the concerned industry, the percentage of requisite funding was clarified. It is in the light of the direction issued by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the reports dated 13.5.2019, 19.7.2019 and 14.08.2019 have come to be filed before the National Green Tribunal, both for remedial and monitoring purpose.

¶180

The National Green Tribunal with the passage of time and in order to effectuate the application of laws, has evolved a compensation regime under an action plan. This dimension has come to be implemented from 1.4.2020 as is evident from the order dated 28.08.2019 passed by the National Green Tribunal.

¶181

In the bunch of cases before us, some of the orders passed under Section 31-A of the Air (Prevention and Contol of Pollution) Act, 1981 (for short "the Act, 1981") relate to a point of time much earlier than the aforesaid reports formulating a two tier mechanism. The writ petitions have merely assailed the consequential actions emanating from the orders passed under Section 31-A of the Act, 1981 from the year 2017 to 2021. The petitioners have failed to place on record the relevant orders passed under Section 31-A of the Act, 1981 in any of the writ petitions. The consequential orders, however, have come to be challenged before us on the premise that the initial order was not communicated to them.

¶182

We are equally pained to notice that even the opposite party-U.P. Pollution Control Board has not placed on record the relevant orders passed under Section 31-A of the Act, 1981 and in this manner, we are unable to examine whether the jurisdiction of the National Green Tribunal would lie under Section 14 of the Act, 2010 or the action taken is amenable to appellate jurisdiction. Before entertaining or throwing out a petition on the ground of alternative remedy, all such aspects deserve consideration.

¶183

Sri A.K. Verma as well as Sri Asit Srivastava, learned counsels for the U.P. Pollution Control Board are granted a week's time to place on record the relevant orders in furtherance to which the impugned orders assailed in the bunch of these writ petitions have come to be issued.

¶184

Let Central Pollution Control Board be also impleaded as opposite party in all these writ petitions by the respective petitioners within three days, and a copy of each writ petiion be supplied to Sri Chandra Shekhar Pandey, learned counsel representing the Central Pollution Control Board.

¶185

Necessary correction to this effect, be made in the array of parties accordingly.

¶186

Leaving the objection of alternative remedy open at

¶187

this stage, the direction issued hereinabove for bringing on record the relevant orders passed under Section 31-A of the Act, 1981 on being complied, the question as to maintainability of the writ petitions shall be considered on the next date.

¶188

List this bunch of writ petitions on 4.3.2024 in the list of fresh cases.

¶189

Till the next date of listing, status-quo existing as on today, shall be maintained. This order shall apply to all the writ petitions conneced in this bunch.
