Not necessary to have multi-member appellate body under Water or Air Act after formation of NGT: Punjab and Haryana HC

Thus, if the State, vide the impugned notifications, opted for a single-member Appellate Authority, then the power exercised by the State was within the four corners of the said enactments.
