Should there be Municiple Laws or "Supreme Court or Green Tribunal guidelines" to punish with fines people who waste drinking water?
1) This is Municipal Law subject.
Only different Municipalities can make rules to impose Fines of Rs.500 to Rs.5000/- on people whose overhead water tanks are caught over flowing.
This is a daily morning scene in urban areas.
On terrace, each house may have put up a 1000 littre or so water tank and from these water tanks, drinking water is seen overflowing everyday.
Perhaps thousands of littres of drinking water is being wasted every morning.
2) Second option is "Judge Made Laws". Judges are given power to make judge-made-laws in areas affecting human life where law making bodies are not making any laws.
For this purpose, someone has to file petition in High Court or in Supreme Court or in Green Tribunal to pray for appropriate directions. The petition should have some credible data to support this argument.
