Introduction
Biography
Gitanjali Nain Gill is a Reader in Law at Northumbria Law School, UK.
"Gitanjali Nain Gill brings us a stunning volume on green jurisprudence in India. Painstakingly providing a ‘holistic’ theory of adjudication and social movement for environmental justice, she documents regulatory failures as well as cultures foregrounding international state obligations and constitutional mandates. All those anxious about the future of human rights in the Anthropocene era will cherish this volume." – Upendra Baxi, Emeritus Professor of Law, University of Warwick, UK and Delhi, India
"Gitanjali Nain Gill’s analysis of the National Green Tribunal provides an indispensable guide to a question faced by most jurisdictions in the World: whether the environment might be better protected under the particular jurisdiction of an environmental tribunal. Founded on interviews with Tribunal members, this rich analysis proceeds to offer a unique insight into wider and weightier issues concerning the place of environmental justice in the face of competing pressures of development and the sustainability of natural resources and at the interface between law and science." – Robert Lee, Professor, Birmingham Law School, UK
