Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition by a public charitable society concerning the safety of sewerage workers employed by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the Delhi Jal Board. The Court noted that the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) had formulated a comprehensive safety scheme for these workers, which the Delhi Jal Board claimed to have fully implemented. The Court found no grounds to interfere with the High Court's decision, emphasizing the importance of adherence to the NHRC guidelines for worker safety and health.
