Expertise in Environmental Law
India’s environmental legal framework is founded on key statutes such as the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, and the Forest Conservation Act, 1980. Practitioners frequently rely on the Environment Law Bare Act for authoritative references. Judicial interpretation, especially under Article 21 of the Constitution (right to life), has further expanded environmental protection to include the right to clean air, safe water, and a healthy ecosystem
