Abstract : For the Indian economy, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been incorporated as a statutory duty enshrined in the Companies Act, 2013, that is primarily concerned with corporate philanthropy and statutory social responsibilities. In course of time, however, the judicial system in India has emerged as a major player in reinterpreting CSR as well as embracing environment-related obligations in the ambit of corporate responsibility. In this context, the present paper discusses the influence of judicial interpretation in the evolution of CSR in India in light of important case laws such as M.C. Mehta v. Union of India and Indian Council for Enviro-Legal Action v. Union of India. The research approach used in this study is doctrinal research which is qualitative in nature where judicial decisions, laws/statutes, and the literature review will be examined to assess the dynamic relationship between environmental jurisprudence and corporate social responsibility. The paper discusses the ways in which various constitutional doctrines such as sustainable development, polluter pays principle, absolute liability and environmental justice have been utilised to widen the scope of corporate obligations. With the aid of liberal interpretations of constitutional and environmental values, the judiciary has indirectly aided to promote corporate governance and made firms incorporate the environment in their business decisions. However, there are some critical challenges which still prevent the judicially developed CSR obligations from becoming effectively realized. These include the fact that environmental CSR obligations lack any form of legal enforceability and the continued adherence by many firms to the compliance approach, whereby they view CSR obligations as statutory requirements rather than as components of good business governance.
