Q1. Consider the following statement:\nAssertion (A): The National Green Tribunal directed the constitution of the Delhi Ridge Management Board.\nReason (R): The National Green Tribunal is a specialised judicial body established for the speedy disposal of cases relating to environmental protection.\nSelect the correct answer using the code given below:
Explanation
Assertion A is true because the National Green Tribunal did direct that the Delhi Ridge Management Board should be constituted and proceed with its work expeditiously. Reason R is also true because the NGT is indeed a specialised judicial body established under the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010, for the speedy disposal of environmental cases. However, R does not directly explain why the NGT issued this specific direction; the direction relates to the protection and management of the ecologically sensitive Ridge area, not merely to the existence of the Tribunal. Hence both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
