Environmental law delineates the legal framework for the protection of the environment, the discharge of sustainability obligations and the observance of statutory and regulatory norms, imposing enforceable duties on industries, public authorities and individuals in accordance with national and international legal regimes. The practice extends to defending challenges or contesting rejections of environmental and forest clearances, regulatory actions and related disputes before the National Green Tribunal (NGT), High Courts and the Supreme Court of India.
It also includes representation of private entities in proceedings, as well as advisory guidance on permits, approvals and compliance matters. This area of law demands a nuanced understanding of statutory provisions and policy objectives, ensuring adherence to environmental standards while effectively addressing complex and contentious issues.
