Environmental Law

The first edition of this work was highly applauded by the readers. The new second edition has been made more exhaustive and comprehensive in its coverage of the subject. This second edition includes two new chapters - Forest and the Law, and International Environmental Law. The Biological Diversity Act, 2002 has also been incorporated as it has come into force in 2003. The book has been updated with the help of the recent significant judicial pronouncements which have added newer dimensions to environmental jurisprudence. Important historical judgments have been provided in the appendix of the book. Environmental Law is a growing branch of law - ever increasing, ever in demand, ever in discussion and ever in action. Thus, this new edition of the book is a well-timed and welcome comment on the subject. Justice V.S. Dave, in his foreword to the book says, 'I can say without fear of contradiction that Dr. Satish Shastri by writing this book has done a great service to the society. The book shows his immense interest, in-depth study and deep love for the subject and the concerned law'.
