Major Supreme Court Environmental Judgments of 2025--Green Justice Explained | I-LEAD by InsightsIAS

Описание: The year 2025 marked a defining phase in India’s environmental jurisprudence, with the Supreme Court delivering a series of landmark judgments that reshaped how environmental protection, climate justice, and public welfare are interpreted under the Constitution.

From environmental clearances and mining in ecologically fragile regions to urban forests, air pollution, climate rights, and stray animal management, the Supreme Court played a deeply proactive role in advancing what is often referred to as “Green Justice.”

In this episode of I-LEAD – Supreme Court Judgments Compilation, Tejas Sir walks you through the most important environment-related Supreme Court judgments of 2025, explaining not just what the Court decided, but why these rulings matter for UPSC answer writing, ethics enrichment, and constitutional analysis.

This video is designed to help aspirants memorise, understand, and effectively quote judgments in GS answers and essays.
