India’s environmental laws are regulated under the Environment (Protection) Act of 1986, the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1974, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981, and the Forest Conservation Act of 1980. Environmental Lawyers often turn to the Environment Law as their go-to reference. Courts, especially when interpreting Article 21 of the Constitution, which covers the right to life, have taken things further, saying that clean air, safe water, and a healthy ecosystem are all part of that fundamental right.
