Headnote | Administrative Law – Entrustment of judicial functions to an administrative expert committee – Appellants filed an Original Application (OA) before the Western Zone Bench of the NGT against the dumping of municipal solid waste (MSW) at open landfill site – The OA was being continuously heard by the Western Zone Bench of the NGT and it had already issued significant interim directions – However, Principal Bench (NGT) disposed of the said OA filed by the appellants on the ground that in another OA the NGT had constituted Apex, Regional and State Level Committees to monitor the implementation of the SWM Rules – The OA filed by the appellants was thus closed with liberty to represent the case and ventilate all grievances before the appropriate committee – Whether the Principal Bench of the NGT correctly directed the appellants to now approach one of the Committees set up by it, rather than continue with the proceedings in the OA – Held: The committees are setup because the fact-finding exercise in many matters can be complex, technical and time-consuming, and may often require the committees to conduct field visits – These committees are set up with specific terms of reference outlining their mandate, and their reports have to conform to the mandate – Once these committees submit their final reports to the court/tribunal, it is open to the parties to object to them, which is then adjudicated upon – The role of these expert committees does not substitute the adjudicatory role of the court or tribunal – The NGT cannot abdicate its jurisdiction by entrusting these core adjudicatory functions to administrative expert committees – National Green Tribunal Act, 2010 – ss. 14, 15 and 22 – Municipal Solid Waste (Handling and Management)Rules 2000 – Bio Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 1998. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
