Environmental law practice has grown in importance due to rising concerns over pollution, urban expansion, and compliance with ecological safeguards. The National Green Tribunal (NGT), with its jurisdiction extending over Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Chandigarh, functions as the specialized forum for environmental disputes.

Matters include challenges to environmental clearances, industrial pollution, waste management, illegal mining, and encroachments on forest or protected land. Public interest litigation also plays a significant role in this domain, where issues affecting larger communities and ecological balance are brought before constitutional courts.

Practice involves preparing applications, appeals, and responses before the NGT, as well as writ petitions before High Courts and the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Environmental cases often require the integration of legal expertise with technical reports and scientific evidence.

This field reflects the intersection of constitutional rights under Article 21 (Right to Life) and statutory frameworks like the Environment Protection Act, Forest Conservation Act, and Water and Air Pollution Control Acts.
