Protection of Environment in India-A Matter of Prime Concern for both the Legislature and the Judiciary

Dr. Madhubrata Mohanty

Abstract :

Environment forms the life-line of the living beings of this earth. History reveals the existence of every human civilization being completely dependent upon its surroundings, i.e. the environment in which it lived. In view of the role the environment plays for the existence of the living beings, it is the prime duty of every government to give utmost importance for the protection of the environment. Through this Article the author tried to make an attempt to discuss the steps taken by the government of India by inserting various provisions in the Supreme law of the land, i.e. the Constitution of India for the protection of the environment and the role played by the judiciary whenever the govt. lags behind in properly implanting the statutory as well as the Constitutional provisions.
