Does a citizen have a right to enforce the provisions of the Air Act?
A citizen has the power to complaint to the Board. Further, the courts can take cognizance of offences when any person who has given appropriate notice to the Board makes a complaint. Additionally as right to clean air is fundamental right, any citizen can approach directly the High Court and the Supreme Court by way of a writ or a Public Interest Litigation to force the authorities to take remedial action.
