    Question

    A malignant act likely to spread infection or disease dangerous to life and making the atmosphere noxious to health are punishable offences for environmental protection. But the punishments are meagre to meet objectives. Under which of the following laws such meagre punishment is given?

    A.

    Environment Protection Act 1986

    B.

    Indian Penal Code

    C.

    The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981

    D.

    The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974

    Correct option is B

    Under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), provisions relating to punishment for acts causing harm to the environment are mentioned, but they are often considered meagre in addressing the severity of environmental degradation. The Environment Protection Act (1986) and specific pollution laws provide more comprehensive regulations.
