casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Voice of India's petition seeking free drinking water as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution. While acknowledging that citizens lack adequate potable water access after 60 years, the Court ruled it cannot monitor local institutions nationwide and directed the petitioner to approach concerned High Courts with specific, detailed grievances confined to municipal areas, as water supply is a State subject under the Constitution. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
