Ram Nath and Ors. whereby the Supreme Court has granted compensation of Rs. 1 lakh because of death of a child, as a result of coming into contact with a high-tension wire which passed over the roof of the house. The said compensation was awarded in the petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India as there was no disputed question of facts arise. The Apex Court further observed that it is the duty of the State Electricity Board and/or such authorities to ensure that the electricity wires were at a safe distance from the building, even if it were unauthorised or illegal. The Apex Court further observed that they would have to ensure that no injury results from their activities. Therefore, merely because the house where incident occurred was unauthorised that itself cannot be the reason that local authorities should not take care to ensure that no injuries result from their activities.

It is their duty to take care and to take effective steps at all stages while work in progress just cannot be shirked or avoided by the BMC.
