Download or read book Public Interest Environmental Litigation in India Pakistan and Bangladesh written by Jona Razzaque and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines the growth and expansion of public interest environmental litigation (PIEL) in India and analyses the changes that are influencing the development of PIEL in Bangladesh and Pakistan. The necessity for this research lies in the rapid degradation of environment and the need of efficient environmental management in the three countries of the South Asian region. Here, we compare the legal systems of the three countries from the environmental point of view, discuss new ideas and directions and critically analyse the legal provisions that would help to apply environmental norms. These offer the legislators a chance to find out what can be applied in their own region, thus developing their existing legal mechanisms. About the author Jona Razzaque is barrister and holds a PhD in law from the University of London. She works in the field of access to environmental justice and has published numerous articles on this issue. She taught law in Queen Mary College and School of Oriental and African Studies under the University of London. She is currently working as a lawyer in the Foundation for International Environmental Law and Development (FIELD) on cross-themed projects related to bio-diversity, trade and climate change.
Download or read book Many Roads to Justice written by Mary E. McClymont and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to convey some of the challenges that those wielding the law for social change purposes have faced and the successes they have achieved. By intention, it is more a studied appreciation than a critical analysis of their efforts. We asked an international team of consultants to help us document and describe how various law-based strategies have worked in very different settings, to draw out connections between those efforts, and to highlight some of the insights that emerge from grantees' experiences in law-related work. We also asked them to help us learn more about the ways the Foundation has played a role in these efforts. Known as the Global Law Programs Learning Initiative (GLPLI), this effort is not definitive, but rather suggestive. Our goal is to contribute to more serious future reflection and, ultimately, more effective programs in this field.

The book offers a comparative perspective on public law, asking crucial questions about the role of the state and how private citizens around Asia have increasingly used the forms, procedures and substance of public law to advance public and political aims. In addition to addressing specific jurisdictions in Asia, the book includes a helpful and introduction that highlights regional trends in Asia. In the jurisdictions profiled, transnational public interest litigation trends have commingled with local dynamics. This volume sheds light on how that commingling has produced both legal developments that cut across Asian jurisdictions as well as developments that are unique to each of the jurisdictions studied.

Book excerpt: This book gives a brief description on the past, present and future of the public interest cases in India and abroad. It proves to be an excellent guide to the law students especially at beginning of their studies. Author Dr. Mamta Rao is currently a lecturer of Durgawati University, Jabalpur. She is eminent author who has written a number of law related books for basic and advanced studies in law. Public interest litigation appeared in the Indian judicial scene in the mid-seventies when the rigid concept of standing proved to be an obstacle in achieving the great ideals of soc-economic justice. To disarm the strong and arm the weak was essential to change the social order. The judiciary such circumstances had to innovate new methods and devices, new strategies for providing access to justice to a large section of society which was deprived vulnerable. This way it could be an instrument of distributive justice. This book traces the origin and development of public interest litigation India, America and Britain with references at places to Pakistan, Bangladesh and Canada. The dynamics, trends, procedures, limitations and dilemmas of public interest litigation have also been deal with out of a huge of volume of case-law coming from Supreme Court and high court priority has been given to decisions of the Supreme Court on topics of importance. The book takes a look into the background of Public Interest Litigation and its acceptance in varying degrees in the different countries of the world including India. The dynamics, trends, procedure; innovations, limitations and dilemmas of Public Interest Litigation have been well explained. The concept of locus standi, procedural and judicial innovations, the problems and the expectations from public interest litigation have all dealt with by the author in a new light. This very well researched and lucidly written book is indeed to the scarce literature on the subject. It is written from a common man's point of view without losing an authoritative grip over the subject explaining abstract ideas giving reference to the landmark cases. Author each time explains a concept which relates how an aam aadmi can be benefited from it. The author presents a well composed mix of technical knowledge with dramatizing the action. It can be put into a genre of a light book explaining the basic concepts of public interest law, for 1st year law students. The book is written in a very informal way in the beginning of the topics and later on changing into formal languages as she goes deep into the matter. This style of writing suits well for the intended audience of law students. The author gives you the inside news of many cases which were only revealed very less to the public. Cases such as Bandhua Mukthi Morcha v. Union of India and series of cases in which involves Mr. M.C Mehta. The author raises her voice for the betterment of public at large, in many fields, in conformity with constitutional prescription of what constitutes the good life in a society's just democracy. The affect of the book on the reader is a new and informative experience which they have never experienced before through other law books which uses complex and legal terms. It makes even an ordinary educated man to understand concept of public interest law. Being a first year law student, I felt like having attended a series of good lectures on the topic of pubic interest litigation. The author has tried to bring law to the people by transforming a book like 'Public Interest Litigation in India: A Renaissance in Social Justice' just into a form of handbook. I strongly believe that she has almost achieved the target. The scope of the book has been further enlarged by adding a new chapter on Application of PIL to current legal questions like liberation of Bonded Labour; Protection of Environment versus Economic Development is equally educative. This very well researched and lucidly written book is indeed a valuable addition to the scarce literature on the subject. As a whole, the book is an invaluable asset, not only to the legal fraternity but also to the general public to learn the process of asserting their rights against State action. The quest for social justice and the conquest of injustice are best served by the application of the principal of Public Interest Litigation. I would like to suggest this book to all the law students of the country and all other knowledge seekers. It would prove to be a book of reference and also as a guide.

She shows how PIL provides a means whereby the terms of the legal discourse may be challenged; equally she shows how PIL suffers, paradoxically, by being a part of the very system it seeks to question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Interest Litigation in South Africa offers grounded accounts - by leaders in the field - of the campaigns, cases, and causes that have defined key areas of public interest litigation in the country since the constitutional transition. The authors share their perspectives on the struggles led by people, communities, activists, and civil society organisations to realise the vision of the Constitution. The book shares the legal narratives of those particular struggles in the hope that this will contribute to the broader continuous struggle for social justice. Part One of the book considers the history of public interest litigation, the public interest sector today, public interest litigation in the context of international law, the ethics and politics of public interest litigation, and procedure. Part Two addresses public interest litigation in key areas of law: property rights, gender, basic services, health care, LGBTI equality, children's rights, basic education, freedom of expression, access to information, and prisoners' rights. Public Interest Litigation in South Africa seeks to share more of the stories of what has been achieved in the courts, beyond the well-trodden, landmark appellate decisions, as a contribution to informed and critical engagement.
