Green Justice: Understanding and Applying India’s Environmental Law

Green Justice: Understanding and Applying India’s Environmental Law by Dr. N. B. Chandrakala, Mani Shankar Rodras is a comprehensive, academically grounded exploration of India’s legal framework for environmental protection. This book brings together legislative analysis, judicial interpretation, and practical enforcement mechanisms across landmark statutes such as the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the Water Act, 1974, the Air Act, 1981, the Forest Acts, and the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Structured to assist law students, environmental professionals, and policymakers, the book offers an accessible yet in-depth study of pollution control boards, coastal zone regulations, environmental liability, and international conventions. With a robust reference to Supreme Court and NGT decisions, it highlights the evolution of environmental jurisprudence and India’s shifting legal paradigm toward sustainability and ecological justice. Each chapter is designed with clarity offering theoretical foundations, practical procedures, and real-world cases. It uniquely blends policy analysis with field applicability, encouraging readers not just to understand environmental law, but to engage with it meaningfully. Green Justice is more than a legal textbook it is a timely call to action for a new generation of eco-conscious legal minds and a vital resource for upholding the constitutional promise of environmental protection under Article 21.
