Navigating Environmental Law: A Comprehensive Guide to Indian Legal Landscape

Abstract India possesses a robust framework of environmental protection laws; however, the enforcement of these regulations has been inadequate. There is an immediate necessity for effective, efficient, and well-structured implementation of both the Constitutional provisions and other environmental laws in the country. The proactive and innovative contributions of the Indian Judiciary and the National Green Tribunal (NGT) have been noteworthy and commendable during this period. In line with Articles 48-A and 51-A(h) of the Indian Constitution, numerous Public Interest Litigations have been filed in the Supreme Court against various industries for their insufficient pollution control measures, as well as against Pollution Control Boards to compel them to adopt appropriate actions for pollution management in India. To ensure the effective and organized enforcement of these laws, it is essential to establish an Adjudicatory Body in each state, comprising both legal and technical experts. The commitment to regulating and safeguarding the environment reflects a desire for national development to progress in accordance with sustainable practices. The responsibility of protecting the environment and maintaining ecological balance in India is a collective obligation that must be embraced by the government, individuals, associations, societies, industries, and corporations alike. This duty is not only a social imperative but also a fundamental responsibility outlined in Article 51-A(g) of the Indian Constitution.
