National Green Tribunal (NGT)

Read the Passage and answer the following Questions: 

The National Green Tribunal has junked a plea by a Haryana-based industrial unit seeking review of an order directing the State Pollution Control Board to shut it down for causing air pollution, and said the right of inhabitants to a clean environment cannot be defeated. A Bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said the unit was functioning in violation of consent conditions and parameters of air quality as found by an expert committee. The green panel refused to agree with the industrial unit’s submission that permission given to it was for 10 years, not from July 30, 2008 but from the date of setting up in 2012, and to this extent there is an error in the order.
