Environmental Law

Description
Some years ago, the goals of economic development and environmental protection were considered to be mutually exclusive. It was thought that economic development was unavoidably destructive to the environment and environmental protection was believed to be a constraint to development. Now this conflicting view has largely given way to a better understanding of the Fisk between development and environment. International efforts for the protection and preservation of global environment indicated that the degradation of the environment and depletion of natural resources not only impede economic development but threaten human survival as well. The journey from the Stockholm to the Rio Sumit led to the recognition that all human beings are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature. To materialize this vision, the concept of sustainable development came to be recognized and operationalized. It was such factor which was responsible for the enactment of various environmental laws in India, which are designed not only to preserve and protect environment but also to prevent environmental pollution. In the enforcement of these laws, the Indian Judiciary has played a seminal role and used public interest litigation as a convenient tool to create a new environmental jurisprudence.
