Drinking water is fundamental right: Bombay High Court on water supply failure in Thane village
The observations were made by a Bench of Justices SJ Kathawalla and Milind Jadhav while hearing a petition by residents of Kambe village in Thane district, Maharashtra seeking supply of drinking water on daily basis.
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday said that supply of regular drinking water is a fundamental right and it is unfortunate that citizens have to knock the doors of the Court for water supply even after 75 years of independence (Shobha Vikas Bhoi & Ors. v. State of Maharashtra & Ors.)
