M. C. Mehta (Environmentalist)

M. C. Mehta (Environmentalist)

He is an attorney in the Supreme court of India, one of the founders of the Indian council for Enviro-Legal Action (ICELA), and director.

In early 1984, M.C. Mehta, a public interest attorney, visited the Taj Mahal for the first time.

He saw that the famed monument’s marble had turned yellow and was pitted as a result of pollutants from nearby industries.

This spurred Mehta to file his first environmental case in the Supreme Court of India.
