✅WHY IN THE NEWS? 

In a notable decision, the Supreme Court has broadened the interpretation of Articles 14 and 21 to encompass protection against the detrimental impacts of climate change. The judgement was given on a petition by environmentalists to protect the Great Indian Bustard. 

✅MORE ABOUT THE CASE 

The Supreme Court of India recently navigated a complex case concerning the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard (GIB). The bird, found in the arid grasslands of Rajasthan and Gujarat, faces numerous threats, including collisions with overhead power lines. 

✅APRIL 2021 VERDICT OF SUPREME COURT 

🔘In a landmark verdict in April 2021, the Supreme Court prioritised the GIB’s survival. Recognising the devastating impact of power lines on these birds, the court imposed restrictions on their construction across a vast area (approximately 99,000 square kilometres) in the GIB’s primary habitat.

🔘 This bold decision aimed to create safer airspace for the birds and encourage alternative transmission solutions. The court even suggested converting existing overhead lines to underground cables, a more bird-friendly option but also a significantly more expensive and technically challenging undertaking.

✅THREATS FROM POWER LINES 

🔘The Great Indian Bustard (GIB) faces a significant threat from power lines criss-crossing its arid grassland habitat in India. A 2020 study by the Wildlife Institute of India revealed a grim statistic– power lines claim the lives of an estimated 84,000 birds of various species annually within and around the Desert National Park in Rajasthan.

🔘 The GIB is particularly susceptible to power line collisions due to its unique physical characteristics. Unlike some birds with a broad field of vision, the GIB, along with other raptors and bustards, has extensive blind spots above its head.

🔘 This limited frontal vision makes it difficult for them to detect oncoming power lines from a distance.

🔘Additionally, their large size and weight hinder their ability to manoeuvre quickly and avoid collisions at close quarters. These factors combine to make power lines a deadly threat to the already endangered GIB population.

✅CONCERNS OVER THE IMPACT ON ACHIEVING CLEAN ENERGY GOALS

🔘The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, along with the Power and New and Renewable Energy Ministries, challenged the court’s order. They argued that the restrictions placed a significant burden on India’s clean energy goals.

🔘 Many of the nation’s major solar and wind power plants, crucial for reducing the country’s carbon footprint, are located within this designated area.

🔘Additionally, transitioning existing overhead lines to underground cables was deemed technically infeasible in many locations due to factors like complex terrain and soil conditions.

✅MODIFICATION IN 2021 VERDICT OF SC

🔘 Acknowledging the practical difficulties highlighted by the government, including technical limitations, land acquisition challenges, and high costs associated with underground cables, the Supreme Court modified its original order in March 2024. 

🔘The court’s revised approach recognises the importance of climate change action and the need for renewable energy development. It emphasises the need to find a balance that ensures the GIB’s conservation alongside broader environmental protection.

🔵This likely involves exploring alternative solutions like carefully planned rerouting of power lines, implementing bird diverters on existing lines, and investing in research and development of new technologies that minimise bird collisions.

✅ABOUT GREAT INDIAN BUSTARD

🔵 Habitat: The GIB thrives in open, dry, and semi-dry grasslands. These areas are typically dotted with scattered bushes and patches of scrub, providing them with a mix of open space for foraging and some cover for nesting and roosting.

🔵 Diet: These adaptable birds are omnivores, meaning they consume both plant and animal matter. Their diet includes insects, grass seeds, berries, small rodents, and reptiles. In areas bordering cultivated lands, they may occasionally feed on exposed groundnuts, millets, and legume pods.

🔵 Distinctive Appearance: The GIB’s striking appearance makes it easy to identify. A prominent black crown adorns their forehead, contrasting beautifully with their pale neck and head. Males boast a larger crown compared to females, and their plumage colouration further differentiates the sexes.

🔵 Conservation Status:

✅IUCN: Critically Endangered

✅CITES: Appendix-I

✅WPA 1972: Schedule-I



✅HIGHLIGHTS OF THE VERDICT

🔵The court acknowledged challenges with underground cables, including limited capacity, higher transmission losses, and the need for legal frameworks for land acquisition.

🔵 A 9-member committee of experts was formed to assess the feasibility of undergrounding power lines in specific areas.

🔵 The court recognised India’s significant clean energy targets and the importance of transitioning from fossil fuels for environmental, economic, and security reasons.

🔵 The court highlighted the social, economic, and environmental benefits of solar power, emphasising its role in energy security, combating air pollution, and conserving water resources.

🔵 The judgement highlighted the link between climate change and human rights, emphasising states’ responsibility to address climate impacts through the lens of rights like a clean environment.

🔵 Fundamental Rights and Climate Change:

1️⃣1. Article 21 guarantees the fundamental rights to life and personal liberty, while Article 14 ensures equality before the law and equal protection of the laws for all individuals. These constitutional provisions serve as significant foundations for the right to a healthy environment and protection against the adverse impacts of climate change.

2️⃣2. The realisation of the right to life is contingent upon a clean and stable environment free from the disruptions caused by climate change. Factors such as air pollution, changes in disease vectors, increasing temperatures, and droughts directly affect public health, which falls under the purview of the right to life as stipulated in Article 21.

3️⃣3. Furthermore, the inability of marginalised communities to adapt to or mitigate the effects of climate change constitutes a violation of both the right to life (Article 21) and the right to equality (Article 14). These underserved populations face disproportionate challenges in safeguarding their health and well-being in the face of environmental degradation and climate-related hazards.

✅CONCLUSION:

The Supreme Court’s judgement in this case highlights the complex challenges at the intersection of environmental protection and sustainable development. Striking a balance between these goals requires careful consideration of ecological needs, technological feasibility, and economic realities. Moving forward, collaborative efforts between government agencies, energy companies, conservation groups, and scientific experts will be crucial in finding innovative solutions that safeguard the GIB and support India’s clean energy transition.
