It is the basic human right of every one to live in a healthy environment. It is protected under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. It is also the basic duty of the State to protect the environment from degradation and to provide the healthy environment to its subjects. To fulfil this objective various Environment Protection Laws are there in India and in the development of the Environmental Laws in India, Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has played a significant role. PIL has become an effective tool for the implementation of the Environment Legislations through which the Apex Court gives the directions and issues guidelines for the protection of the environment. The main purpose of this research paper is to throw light on the importance of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the development and implementation of Environmental Law.
