Victim Compensation in India: A Need for Reform - M.C. Mehta v. Union of India (1987)

torts du_llb beginner judgment_take

Main point hai, yeh judgment 1987 mein aya tha, jab SC ne pollution ki cheejon par case ki sunwai ki thi. M.C. Mehta ne SC ko pollution ke saath saath, hawa ki gunaahon ke liye bhi compensation demand ki thi. SC ne Delhi Pollution (Prevention & Control) Authority ki constitution order di. Yeh decision bahut acchi thi, phir bhi ismein kuch limitations the. SC ne compensation ke likein, only "such measures as may be prescribed" order diya, jisse future mein rules aur regulation badal sakte the, lekin aaj bhi victim ko justice milne mein koi guarantee nahi hai.

"Yeh case bahut hi zordaar hai! M.C. Mehta vs Union of India (1987) ne victim compensation ki duniya mein ek naye path ka nirmaan kiya. Lekin abhi bhi kafi kam hain. Humko aage badhna hai, victim ko unki sunvaari aur samman ka haq milna chahiye. Chalo, let's keep fighting for justice! This case set a powerful precedent for victim compensation, but we still have a long way to go.
