In the Hon’ble High Court of New Delhi, under Case No. 2025/HC/789, a legal dispute arose between the petitioner, Mr. Aman Verma, and the respondent, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. The petitioner filed a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution, alleging negligence and violation of constitutional rights by the respondent in providing essential public services.The petitioner contended that he is a resident of Laxmi Nagar, South Delhi, and that for the past six months, the municipal corporation has shown gross negligence in maintaining sanitation and basic infrastructure in the area. The petition alleged that the corporation had failed in its duty to repair public roads, manage waste disposal, and ensure proper drainage, thereby violating the fundamental rights of the citizens.The petitioner argued that his right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution was being infringed. He further submitted that under Sections 42 and 43 of the Municipal Corporation Act, 1957, the respondent is legally obligated to manage urban sanitation and maintain essential public services. The petition highlighted that inadequate waste disposal and waterlogging in the area had led to severe health hazards for local residents.In response, the respondent submitted that excessive rainfall in recent months and financial constraints had made it difficult for the corporation to fulfill its obligations. The respondent also claimed that a phased implementation of urban development plans was underway and that the allegations made by the petitioner were exaggerated and unfounded.After carefully considering the arguments presented by both parties, the Hon’ble High Court held that under Article 21 of the Constitution, every citizen has the right to live in a clean and healthy environment, and it is the duty of the state to provide basic civic amenities. The court, referring to the relevant provisions of the Municipal Corporation Act, 1957, emphasized that the respondent was responsible for maintaining urban sanitation and public infrastructure and that any failure in this regard was against public interest.In its judgment, the court directed the respondent to ensure proper sanitation and infrastructural repairs in the Laxmi Nagar area within three months. Additionally, the municipal corporation was ordered to submit a monthly progress report to the court.Thus, the court allowed the petition, issued strict directions to the respondent to fulfill its legal and administrative duties, and granted appropriate relief to the petitioner.
