Environmental-infrastructure litigation involves legal disputes concerning infrastructure projects like roads, power plants, dams, or industrial facilities, focusing on whether these developments adhere to environmental laws, regulations, and constitutional safeguards that protect ecological balance and public health. The key legal principles typically invoked include the Polluter Pays principle, the Public Trust doctrine, the constitutional right to a clean environment under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, and the concept of Intergenerational Equity. These principles ensure that those responsible for pollution bear the costs to remediate damage, that natural resources are held in trust by the state for public use, that a clean environment is recognized as a fundamental right, and that environmental stewardship must consider future generations.
