Abstract

On the 11 December 1996, the Supreme Court of India handed out one of the most radical decisions in recent times—radical in terms of the principles it has articulated and its approach to the special interests which are constantly being raised in the post-liberalization era of economic reforms in India. The shrimp industry is touted as a major foreign exchange earner and an economic liberator of the agrarian economy. Behind the razzmatazz, with active support from government and financial institutions, millions of rupees have been pumped into this industry. Heady and flush with funds, the industry has been riding roughshod over environmental concerns for more than a decade now.
