Environ-Human rights are those human rights that are straightforwardly influenced by the condition of the environment, consist but are not limited to the following: The right to life, the right to an adequate standard of living and the right to health. Human rights and Environmental Rights have generally been envisaged as two particular, free circles of rights. Both eventually look to accomplish the highest caliber of practical life for mankind inside the current worldwide biological system. Where Human Rights law ensures individual and group alive today inside a given society, the motivation behind Environmental law is to support all life and biological procedures by adjusting the requirements and limits of present ages with those of the future. Both are complementary to each other. The relation being a pre-requisite for the existence of each other, far from simple or straightforward. The importance of the environment to the fulfillment of human rights is widely accepted at international law. The relationship between human rights and the environment was first recognized by the UN General Assembly in the late 1960s. In 1972, the direct relationship between the environment and the right to life was recognized by the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment where it was stated that “Man is both creature and molder of his environment”. Numerous laws exist to protect our environment and human rights in India yet examination into the viability of these laws is rare. Indian judiciary through the constitutional provisions has played an astounding role in maintaining eco-humanity balance with its landmark decisions. Article 32 and 226 of the Indian constitution have been provided as weapons in the hands of citizens to directly strike the courts for having their right to use the environment for their purpose and on the same side, courts making them realize their duty to work for it as well. This research paper discusses the concept of Environ-Human rights, their evolution and to date developments in the role of the Indian judiciary in protecting the same.
