Multiple reports say a High Court rules that no one has the right to pollute a waterbody, including under the pretext of religious practice. The court’s observation is reported in connection with allegations or complaints about activities affecting a waterbody and the environmental harm that may result. The outlets present the same core point: religious grounds do not exempt individuals or groups from complying with laws and environmental norms that protect water resources. The court’s position is framed as a general principle, emphasising that activities that contaminate or degrade waterbodies are unlawful regardless of intent or justification. The reports also indicate that the issue is being treated as a matter of public interest, involving environmental protection and legal accountability. While the brief summaries do not specify the case details, jurisdiction, or specific directions issued, they consistently convey that the High Court rejects the argument that religion can be used to justify pollution of water.
