Article 21 Right to Water | Jal Jeevan Mission Covers Commercial Establishments Within Village Limits : Uttarakhand HC

Uttarakhand HC rules that denying water connections to commercial establishments like restaurants under the Jal Jeevan Mission violates Article 21, mandating connections within 30 days. The court clarified that the scheme’s restrictions apply only to solitary farmhouses distant from villages, not businesses within village limits.
