The 'Polluter Pays Principle' in Indian environmental law implies that:

  1. The government pays for pollution cleanup
  2. The polluter bears the cost of preventing and remedying environmental damage
  3. Victims of pollution are compensated by the state
  4. Industries are exempt from environmental liabilities

Answer: The polluter bears the cost of preventing and remedying environmental damage

This principle, upheld by the Supreme Court, holds polluters financially responsible for environmental harm they cause.
