One of the measures to address the huge generation of waste in India is to introduce more stringent regulations. With rapid change in technology and the lifestyle of the masses, not only the volume but the characteristics of wastes have also been altered. The issues pertaining to waste management in India has not been comprehensively addressed and implementation of these regulations is inadequate. The country needs a more systematic regulatory framework that integrates the need to reduce and prevent waste generation. Although the rules and regulations governing the varied kinds of waste like electronic, plastic, agricultural, biomedical, etc. are in place but still the problem remains as such and the improper electronic waste management continues to take a toll on the health of the planet and humans. Against this backdrop, the present thesis aims to provide an indication related to the rules and regulations governing the waste management in the country along with analysing the past court interventions. A critical analysis of the current guidelines, policies and rules has been made in the thesis to charter the future course of action in addressing waste management through legal interventions. The current study is based on both the primary and secondary research on reports, publications, policy documents, etc. to have an in-depth knowledge on the waste management regulations. The study infers that India is pioneer in framing legislation on Waste Management but the laxity in implementation is hindrance in addressing the concerns of improper waste disposal
