There has been an increase in the hazardous waste trade amongst countries of the world; consequently, two approaches have emerged over time. India follows the principles laid down by the Basel convention and incorporates the safeguard of PIC. The hazardous waste (management and transboundary movement) rules, 2016 incorporates the safeguard and regulates the movement of hazardous waste to and from India. Despite the stringent procedural requirement there have been cases wherein hazardous waste has been dumped in India. Research Foundation for Science Technology and Natural Resources Policy v. Union of India (1995) is one such case wherein waste oil was imported in India while being labelled as lubricating oil. The waste oil had to be destroyed in India by way of incineration because other measures were not deemed feasible by the Apex court. A similar thing happened in 2018 in the case of P.P. Electronics v New Delhi (Import & General). The chapter analyses the law, highlights the gaps and challenges and provides remedy for preserving public health in India.
