Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court issued guidelines aimed at preventing fatal accidents involving small children falling into abandoned bore wells and tube wells. The guidelines require landowners to inform local authorities 15 days prior to construction, mandatory registration of drilling agencies, and specific safety measures such as erecting signboards and fencing around wells. The Court emphasized the need for proper monitoring by district authorities to ensure compliance with these safety measures, thereby enhancing public safety and accountability.
