Environmental laws in Indian perspective: An overview
Authors

Abstract

An uncontrollable increase in population over the previous century put a significant strain on the natural resources that were accessible. Mother Nature has given everything she can, but the excessive use of pesticides, harsh chemicals, and groundwater combined with disproportionately high levels of farming have left the land itself dog-eared. The pollution of water supplies is severe, and the release of hazardous pollutants from vehicles and industry has deprived us of clean air. Large metabolizes with their issues of unregulated sewage and undisposed rubbish have been created as a result of industrialization and a burgeoning consumer economy. Given the alarming rate at which the hardships are escalating, it won't be long before the entire world—not just India-becomes a desert.

'Environment' is defined under Indian law in accordance with Section 2(a) of the Environmental Protection Act, 1986. 'Environment' includes water, air, and land as well as the relationships that exist between water, air, land, and people, other living things, plants, microorganisms, and property. The word "environmental law" refers to the body of common and customary rules, treaties, ordinances, and regulations that address how human activity affects the environment. The study of laws relating to environmental protection is the subject of this article. The examination of numerous laws being drafted by the Indian government and judicial system is shown in the article. It is made quite obvious that the government and the Indian court system have been working to protect the environment since very early years.
