Abstract

Environmental pollution is a core issue involved in the protection of the environment in highly developed countries. The growth of skill and machinery has no doubt brought about a radical change in individual livelihood leading to developed and developing countries where there is communication and transport play a vital role and have provided an increase to trade and commerce on the global level. Human activities, such as deforestation and modernization, are affecting the natural habitat necessary for human survival. Environmentalists have recommended various ways of controlling overpopulation and other means of getting alternative sources of energy, such as solar and wind power. Article 51(A)-(g) and 48-A of the Indian constitution enables the right to life and has been interpreted by the courts as legally binding in all respects. The role played by the higher judiciary regarding the cases related to the violation of environmental and human rights has been acquired. The Supreme Court has not only played a crucial role in the implementation of environmental laws but also interpreted the right to life. Mismanagement in the appropriate dumping of liquid, gas, and solid wastes and hazardous remaining substances from industries and factories is now another point for polluting the environment and damaging the ecosystem.
