New Delhi: The Supreme Court has said that courts cannot be unmindful when precious water bodies remain unprotected, while directing all states and authorities to undertake physical ground-truthing and demarcation of wetlands.
A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and Vipul M Pancholi said the water bodies, being a source of drinking water, are precious and would fall within the four corners of the right to life, as guaranteed under the Constitution.
