DELHI JAL BOARD vs NATIONAL CAMPAIGN ETC..

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the Delhi Jal Board against an interlocutory order of the Delhi High Court requiring it to deposit additional compensation for the families of deceased workers. The Court emphasized the lack of adequate mechanisms for ensuring safety and compensation for unorganized workers, particularly sewage workers, who face hazardous working conditions. It highlighted the need for legislative measures to protect these workers and ensure their fundamental rights under Article 21 of the Constitution, ultimately upholding the High Court's directive for compensation.
