High Court of Bombay:<\/strong> While examining the scope of jurisdiction of the National Green Tribunal, the Division Bench comprising of B.P. Dharmadhikari and A.S. Chandurkar, JJ., held that the National Green Tribunal\u00a0 has the power to adjudicate only on civil matters wherein substantial question relating to environment is involved and does not posses the power to adjudicate upon the vires or validity of any enactment contained in Schedule I to the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010\u00a0or of the subordinate legislation framed under such enactment, which confers appellate or other jurisdiction upon it.<\/p>\n

The petitioner \u00a0had sought a declaration\u00a0 that Rule 17 of the Biological Diversity Rules, 2004 does not apply to the Indian entities or body corporates hence, it should be declares ultra vires and\u00a0 therefore, unconstitutional, to the extent the said Rule envisages equitable sharing of benefits by the Indian entities. The petitioner further sought a declaration that the Guidelines on Access to Biological Resources and Associated Knowledge and Benefits Sharing Regulations, 2014 be declare ultra vires to Sections 23 and 24 of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002. \u00a0A preliminary objection was raised by the respondent as to the validity of writ petition, which according to him should be\u00a0 to filed before the National Green Tribunal as per Section 52-A of the Biological Diversity Act .<\/p>\n

While judging the validity of the respondent’s contention \u00a0that the said petition should be filed before NGT in view of the provisions contained in Section 14 of the NGT Act, 2010, according to which all civil disputes are amenable to its jurisdiction which are involving substantial question relating to environment, the Court, keeping in view the jurisdiction of the National Green Tribunal, held that such authority\/tribunal\u00a0 cannot determine the validity of a statutory legislation being ultra vires or unconstitutional. Relying on the landmark judgments of\u00a0 Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.\u00a0<\/em>v . Nagpur Municipal Corporation,\u00a0<\/em>2012 (1) BCR 526 and Alpha Chem<\/em>\u00a0v. State of U.P.,<\/em>\u00a01991 Supp (1) SCC 518<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0the Court \u00a0held that the scope of the jurisdiction of the Tribunal is not extended\u00a0 to consider issue of validity or vires of the statutory enactment which confers appellate or other jurisdiction upon it. The Court observed\u00a0 that the Tribunal while being competent to hear matters as to the validity of enactments, cannot act as a substitute of the High Court and the Supreme Court as the\u00a0 power to challenge the constitutionality of a statute is maintainable under Article 226 or Article 32 of the Constitution \u00a0and it is not open in proceedings before authorities constituted under a statute itself or even in appeal or revision before the High Court from such proceedings.<\/p>\n

The Court sought to peruse the relevant provisions \u00a0of the NGT Act i.e. Sections 14, 16, 18, 19, and Schedule I thereto \u00a0and pointed out that on careful examination of Section 14 \u00a0it is evident that NGT can only adjudicate upon matters which are civil in nature and involve substantial question relating to environment and it is not conferred with the absolute jurisdiction to adjudicate all types of disputes or even all civil disputes. Affirming the contentions of the petitioners, the Court held that such writ petition does not qualify as a civil case wherein substantial question relating to environment is involved hence the jurisdiction of NGT cannot be evoked.
