Law and Social Justice

Question

Explain with an example how the courts orders on environmental issues have sometimes affected people’s livelihoods adversely.

Solution

In recent years, while the courts have come out with strong orders on environmental issues, these have sometimes affected people’s livelihoods adversely.

(i)For examples, the courts directed industries in residential areas in Delhi to close down or shift out of the city. Several of these industries were polluting the neighbourhood and discharge from these industries was polluting the river Yamuna, because they had been set up without following the rules.

(ii)But, while the court’s action solved one problem, it created another. Because of the closure, many workers lost their jobs. Others were forced to go to far-away places where these factories had relocated. And the same problem now began to come up in these areas – for now these places became polluted. And the issue of the safety conditions of workers remained unaddressed.
