Competition for LL.B Students : Judicial Activism for Sustainability: LEGAL EYES
Environmental jurisprudence in India has been evolving for many years now. This needs to be expanded to cover issues related to climate change and several aspects of sustainable development. In fact, the Agenda 2030 document emphasizes the need to look at all SDGs in an integrated, indivisible manner. But, is our judicial system attuned to this approach?
The ‘Legal Eyes’ is an attempt to evaluate the readiness of the Indian judicial system to promote sustainable development. The activity is open for all Ll.B students from India and involves identifying appropriate judgment/s of the Supreme Court of India & High Courts relating to the environmental/social protection and critically analyze them from the SDG perspective.
