Environmental Law
Acting before the National Green Tribunal and courts for industries, communities, and citizens.
The law now gives citizens and communities a real say in how industry and development affect the land, air, and water around them. We act before the National Green Tribunal and the courts in environmental matters, for industries and project proponents on one side and for local bodies, residents, and citizen groups on the other.
Our work covers questions of pollution of air and water, hazardous and solid waste, environmental clearance and consent to operate, closure and direction orders of the pollution control boards, orders for restoration of damaged land and water and for payment of compensation for environmental harm, and disputes under the Coastal Regulation Zone notifications. We advise industries on compliance and defend them against action that is not warranted, and we act for citizens and communities seeking to stop harm to the environment and to hold polluters to account.
We appear before the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board and its appellate authority, the National Green Tribunal, the High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati, and the Supreme Court of India. These matters often turn on technical material, and we work through it closely so that the case rests on evidence and not on assertion.
