Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of safety for tribals near a test firing range in Madhya Pradesh, where several individuals suffered injuries due to unauthorized access. The Court accepted recommendations from a High-level Committee, mandating the erection of barbed wire fencing, deployment of personnel for patrolling, and construction of watch towers. The Government was directed to complete the necessary works within 18 months, ensuring the safety of the local population. The writ petition was disposed of partly, with compliance reported and accepted by the Court.
