Environmental Law Litigation & Legal Support
From challenging harmful construction projects to holding polluters accountable at the National Green Tribunal, we fight to ensure nature gets a fair hearing.
(Hero Media) A significant victory for us in the Supreme Court. We successfully challenged a government notification that aimed to reduce the protected area of the Soor Sarovar Bird Sanctuary in Agra, a crucial habitat. This newspaper clipping highlights our commitment to protecting India's natural heritage through strategic legal action in the highest court.
We believe large infrastructure projects must follow the law. This article covers our work in the Supreme Court regarding the Agra Metro project, where we pushed for transparency and ensured the project's environmental clearances were properly scrutinized by the Central Pollution Control Board.
Here is a report from LiveLaw covering our success at the National Green Tribunal (NGT). We successfully argued to set aside the 'Consent to Operate' for a bio-medical waste unit in UP that was not compliant, showcasing our capability to hold polluters accountable.
We are proud to share that our Managing Partner, Anshul Gupta, was recognized in the Forbes India Legal Powerlist. This photo captures the moment, reflecting the dedication and expertise that our firm is built on.
Understanding how to approach the Supreme Court is critical. In this video, I explain the Special Leave Petition (SLP) under Article 136, a powerful tool that allows us to bring important cases, including environmental matters, directly to the nation's highest court.

About Featured
When we take on environmental matters, we do not just rely on arguments. We start by dissecting the Environment Impact Assessment reports and compliance records. Often, developers or authorities bypass mandatory clearances, and finding that specific technical flaw is exactly what helps us secure a stay order or hold them accountable at the National Green Tribunal.
Environmental law is not just about policy. It is about practical, on-the-ground action. We focus on two main areas: holding corporations accountable for pollution and challenging government notifications that threaten protected habitats.
The NGT and Supreme Court Dynamic
Most of our work happens in the Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal (NGT) Principal Bench in Delhi. If your issue involves industrial pollution, waste management, or illegal construction, the NGT is often the most effective forum for immediate relief. For matters involving large government projects or complex constitutional questions, we take the battle to the Supreme Court.
Why Clearances Matter
Every major project requires an Environmental Clearance (EC). We frequently find that these projects proceed without proper public consultation or based on outdated data. Whether it is challenging the Agra Metro project for lack of transparency or fighting the denotification of the Soor Sarovar Bird Sanctuary, our strategy involves verifying these technical details. If the law says a clearance is mandatory, we make sure it is enforced.
