CJI Highlights Balance Between Environment and Development Amid NGT Ruling Analysis
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant emphasized the need to harmonize environmental conservation with development, describing the Supreme Court as the "banyan tree" of environmental justice rooted in India's constitutional and civilizational ethos. Speaking at a National Green Tribunal international conference, he highlighted the shift towards eco-centric proportionality and climate-related rights. Meanwhile, an analysis of National Green Tribunal rulings in early 2026 showed no favorable decisions for environmental parties in merit appeals, with industry sides prevailing in most cases, often after procedural dismissals.
