Role of Judiciary for the protection of Environment:

1. The Constitution of India is known as the “Basic Law” of the land, from which all other laws derived their sanctity or validity. Therefore, it must be a living and growing law that is able to cope up with the current situation and development.
2. Various Constitution and International obligations along with the 42nd Amendment of 1976 and rights like Article 21, Article 19, Article 14, Article 32, and Article 226 in lieu with their environmental application have been incorporated in the present day scenario.
3. Both the government and judiciary are actively working for the betterment of environmental conditions. However, a significant change has not been observed in the country prior to the lock down situation.
4. The lockdown due to COVID 19 has proved to be a boon for the environment as it has led to a huge reduction in use of vehicles and factory emissions for a significant amount of time.
we believe in a holistic approach to legal education building not just lawyers, but socially conscious leaders of tomorrow.
