Here are the brief descriptions for some environmental topics

The Indian Law
The Indian Legislature has enacted Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 for the prevention, control and abatement of air pollution. This enactment was on the basis of the decision taken at the UN Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm in June,1972. Government also enacted Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Rules, 1981 so as to implement the enactment. Several notifications were also issued for the controlling the air pollution.
Supreme Court of India (SC) had the occasion to consider the propriety of declaration of an area as Air Control Area in the absence of rules. Court has held that merely because the Rules are absent, the State would not be divested of its powers to notify in the Official Gazette any area declaring it to be air pollution control area.
National green tribunal

National Green Tribunal was established in India by the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010. This is an Act to provide for the establishment of a National Green Tribunal (NGT) for the effective and expeditious disposal of cases relating to environmental protection and conservation of forests and other natural resources including enforcement of any legal right relating to environment and giving relief and compensation for damages to persons and property and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The environmental cases were dealt with by the State High Courts’ and Supreme Court of India. Now the special Tribunal is constituted for the said purpose. Supreme Court of India in one of the cases has observed the necessity to have Green Benches in all the High Courts. The intention is to have specialized Tribunals for dealing with environmental matters. The Tribunal shall consist of a Chairman and members, both judicial and experts.

Supreme Court of India has recently declared that all the matters instituted after the coming into force of this Tribunal {18th October, 2010} and which are covered under the provisions of this Act shall stands transferred to the Tribunal. Cases which are filed prior to the coming into force of the NGT, involving questions of environmental laws and/or relating to any of the seven statutes specified in the Act, should also be dealt with by the NGT.
