The social action petition in which the Water Commission was appointed by this Court has triggered a spate of actions for the preservation and conservation of WATER, a fast depleting but hugely precious resource. It is being done lest we are guilty of closing the stable door after the horse had bolted. Robust and activist approach rather than traditional toolkit of judicial review was employed by the Court which led to the concept of a Water Commission, a watershed moment. Tremendous achievements have been made by the Commission over the span of a short period which has vindicated this Court’s vision in applying such a method and has, at the same time helped to break the bureaucratic inertia. Here is a classic case of judicial outbreak to step in to stem the tide of climate change in a small way. If it gathers momentum, these small steps will translate into giant leaps of enormous proportions. We, as a generation, have been guilty of plundering natural resources and of them water has been the biggest casualty.
