Notion of Doctrine of Public Trust In India

Notion of Doctrine of Public Trust In India
Accepting public trust doctrine as a part of common law, the Indian courts have applied this explicitly in three recent cases, the first one in 1997 and two cases in 1999. Articles 48A and 51A of the Constitution of India also furnish the principles of jurisprudence. Under this doctrine, the state has a duty as a trustee under Art 48A to protect and improve the environment and safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country. This Public trust doctrine has grown from Article 21 of the Constitution of India.

You are one of the best authors of legal articles I read during last year. Would you please write something to the section of legal articles on Attorney Online. There is also an Attorney Directory where lawyers can submit for free their contacts. I hope to gather there all best US lawyers.
