R. K. Saroniya, M. K. Verma, Shiv Singh, Jeet Singh

Abstract :

<p>The natural environment maintains a balance of abiotic and biotic factors, which support healthy life on the earth. In recent years, industrialization, urbanization, and various anthropogenic activities have threatened the very existence of life on global level. Many problems like insanitation, waste disposal, depletion of drinking water, air and water pollution, acid rain, ozone depletion and global warming had been destroying the healthy environment for human and wildlife. The industrial wastes, excess use of pesticides, electronic and plastic wastes, and human induced green house gases etc. are the culprit for the polluted environment in which human, animals as well as plants cannot live a healthy life. Every country has framed some rules and regulations to protect the environment. In India, various public agencies and people raised their voices against the deterioration and degradation of environment. Indian judiciary is also supported these efforts and issued directions to the concerned government authorities to protect the environment as a whole.</p>
