Abstract:
A role of the judiciary is to shape and facilitate environmental laws, policies and principles. India’s green judiciary, particularly the National Green Tribunal (NGT), is an example of its transitional move through substantive and procedural creativity in the current socio-ecological crisis. The juristic and scientific interventions provide responses and offer some redress resulting in an incremental move towards a developing and interpreting environmental law moving, albeit slowly, from an anthropocentric to an eco-centric approach. The Indian judiciary is unlikely to be the panacea for all environmental ills but it can provide a lead in terms of transforming environmental adjudication. The seminar will offer insights and case illustrations of the progressive judicial work patterns of the NGT.
