The water we drink, the cost of the air we breathe, the way roads in our cities cut across the landscape, what our windows reveal and hide: in many ways, our lives today are defined by the devastating effect that our actions have on our immediate natural environments. Many of these impacts have already been rendered irreversible, and it strikes as an understatement to say that this violence ought to be remedied with greater force and greater attention. Then the questions of how exactly we might define environmental rights, whether they should be considered human rights, how we might make this association, and the scope and limitations of such interpretations, are all important questions. This paper aims to critically analyse the procedural and substantive dimensions of the different redressal forums for environmental issues in India. The procedural dimension will analyse the inadequacies and inconsistencies in the implementation.
