Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
The NGT Act derives legitimacy chiefly from Article 21, whose judicial interpretation includes the right to a healthy environment. Articles 275(1) (grants for Scheduled Areas) and 243-A (Gram Sabha powers) are unrelated to the Act’s establishment, so only statement 1 is correct.
