The Supreme Court disposed of the writ petition concerning starvation deaths in the KBK districts of Orissa, noting the proactive role of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in implementing recommendations for improving living conditions. The Court acknowledged the cooperation between the Union of India and the State Government in addressing the issues raised, and accepted the NHRC's final report dated 30.8.2006, which included effective monitoring mechanisms. The Court concluded that no further directions were necessary at this stage, allowing petitioners to approach the Court if difficulties arise.
