The National Green Tribunal was established on October 18th, 2010, with a view to take commitment at the international conference to ensure that India contributes efficiently to the improvement of the ecology and environment. The objective behind the formation of the National Green Tribunal is to provide for a specialized environmental court equipped with necessary expertise to handle multidisciplinary environmental disputes and to ensure inexpensive and easy access to environmental justice in cases of civil nature involving substantial issues relating to environment. But later with the commencement of the Finance Act 2017, many changes were brought in the composition of the National Green Tribunal which was found to curtail the independence of the National Green Tribunal which inturn effected environmental justice system of the National Green Tribunal. A tribunal must be an independent body with members expertised in the field and not made emasculated by some external authority.
