Legislation not under the adjudication of NGT in India

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) is a specialized court that deals with environmental disputes and violations. It was established in 2010 under the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010. The NGT has the power to hear all civil cases relating to environmental issues and enforce laws related to the protection of the environment. However, not all environmental laws fall under the purview of the NGT.

The legislation that is not under the adjudication of the National Green Tribunal in India is the Forest Rights Act, 2006. This law was enacted to recognize and vest the forest rights and occupation of forest-dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers who have been residing in forests for generations. The law also provides for the conservation of forests and wildlife. However, the Forest Rights Act, 2006, does not fall under the jurisdiction of the NGT.

The other legislation mentioned in the options fall under the jurisdiction of the NGT.

• The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991: This Act provides for the payment of compensation to the victims of accidents occurring while handling hazardous substances. The NGT has the power to hear cases related to violations of this Act.

• Biological Diversity Act, 2002: This Act provides for the conservation of biological diversity, sustainable use of its components and fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the use of biological resources. The NGT has the power to hear cases related to violations of this Act.

In conclusion, the Forest Rights Act, 2006, is the legislation that is not under the adjudication of the National Green Tribunal in India.
