ENVIRONMENT V. DEVELOPMENT REVISITED: CONTRIBUTIONS of INDIA's JUDICIARY to the CONFLICT RESOLUTION
ENVIRONMENT v. DEVELOPMENT REVISITED: CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIA'S JUDICIARY TO THE CONFLICT RESOLUTION Rahmatullah Khan*' 1. INTRODUCTION On 7 November 1990, the Supreme Court of India issued a significant Order (Writ Petition No 12819 of 1985, mimeograph copy) dismissing a petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution by the Tehri Bandh Virodh Sangarsh Samiti [Tehri Dam Opposition Committee] and others. Petitioners had requested the Court to issue a restraint order to the Gov ernment of India preventing it from constructing a huge hydro-power project and a dam on the river Tehri on the ground that the dam posed a serious threat to the life, ecology and environment of the entire northern India as the site of the dam was prone to earthquakes. It was argued that expert testimony indicated that the pattern and consistency of earth quakes in the region were likely to have left a 200 to 300 kilometres length of fracture along the convergence boundary roughly covering the region from Dehradun on the west to the India-Nepal border in the east. Petition ers had good expert testimony on their side. The project had been considered by the Environmental Appraisal Committee (EAC) of the Ministry of Environment and Forests which unan imously rejected it on the ground that its geological and seismic setting posed grave hazards, and the accompanying ecological and social conse quences were unacceptable. Petitioners also highlighted the rather belated note of dissent submitted by Professor V. K. GAUR to the subse quent clearance given to the project by a High Level Committee of * ,Jawaharlal Nehru Professor of Environmental Law, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi; member of the Editorial Board.

An Exploration of the Institutions, Characteristics and Drivers of Elite Philanthropy in India
Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Business & Law DRAFT An exploration of the institutions, characteristics and drivers of elite philanthropy in India John Godfrey BA, MSc, Grad. Dip Arts Admin Student ID 1700367 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Swinburne University of Technology, Faculty of Business & Law. Year of approval for award 2020. Abstract This thesis fills a gap in the empirical study of elite philanthropy which to date has been confined to mostly Western philanthropy, informed by Christian and Jewish norms and traditions. This research explores a tradition and practice of philanthropy which has its early roots in dharmic and Islamic tradition yet, as is shown, has been influenced by Western rules and norms. Twenty-eight philanthropists were interviewed. The two religions these respondents most identified with were Hindu or Parsi, though some identified as Jain, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist. The research applies a theoretical framework described as a moral citizenship. This framework brings together two theoretical models developed by Schervish - identification theory and moral biography (Schervish et al. 1998; Schervish and Havens 1997; Schervish and Havens 2001b, 2002; Schervish and Herman 1988; Schervish et al. 2001). These models, they argue, provide the most fruitful way to identify the social and psychological frameworks that mobilise the agency of philanthropists. The methodology used to apply this theoretical framework used long interviews in which respondents were given free rein to talk about their philanthropic activity in their own terms. This methodology follows in the steps of others such as Breeze and Lloyd (2013), Lloyd (2004), Odendahl (1990), Ostrower (1995), Panas (1984, 2019 [1984]), Scaife et al.
