The Delhi High Court said presence of a public urinal and open garbage bin right next to one’s house violates the right to live with dignity in a clean and healthy environment. Justice Amit Bansal stated that a hygienic environment was an integral aspect of a healthy life and the absence of a healthy environment frustrates the right to live with dignity.
The court passed the order while dealing with a lawyer’s petition raising a grievance against the construction of an unauthorised open garbage bin and urinal on the walls of his property.
The court directed the MCD to immediately demolish the open dustbin and the urinal next to the house of the petitioner, observing that the presence of an open garbage bin as well as public urinal was undoubtedly a nuisance.
