How to file a complaint in NGT
21-Jul-2023 (In Civil Law)
I want to lodge a complaint in NGT regarding air pollution being created by a property Construction. So what steps and documents required to lodge a complaint?
The NGT follows a very simple procedure to file an application seeking compensation for environmental damage or an appeal against an order or decision of the Government.
For every application / appeal where no claim for compensation is involved, a fee of Rs. 1000/- is to be paid. In case where compensation is being claimed, the fee will be one percent of the amount of compensation subject to a minimum of Rs. 1000/-.
A claim for Compensation can be made for:
Relief/compensation to the victims of pollution and other environmental damage including accidents involving hazardous substances;
Restitution of property damaged;
Restitution of the environment for such areas as determined by the NGT.
No application for grant of any compensation or relief or restitution of property or environment shall be entertained unless it is made within a period of five years from the date on which the cause for such compensation or relief first arose.
