Delhi High Court division bench directed for filing of a public interest litigation in the matter and sought response from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the  Chief Secretary of the Delhi Government and the Delhi Jal Board. 

Summons have been issued against BJP Delhi President Adesh Gupta, BJP MLA Badarpur Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, BJP MLA Rohini Vijendra Gupta, and BJP Delhi Media Relations Harish Khurana for the offence of defamation of the Delhi Jal Board as an institution as well as its Vice-Chairman Raghav Chadha.

The National Green Tribunal on Friday expressed its disappointment with the non-responsiveness of the Delhi Jal Board for not taking any remedial action against the bad odour from the Sewage Treatment Plant, Kondli in Delhi. The NGT was considering the issue for remedial action as the Sewage Treatment Plant was not operated as per norms.

Delhi High Court single bench of Justice Rekha Palli has said that the protest should not result in a super spreader of corona virus while issuing notice to the Centre, Delhi Government, Commissioner of Police, South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) and Delhi Jal Board.

The bench stated that, We do not understand why DJB is now shirking its responsibility and taking a contra stand that small steps taken are enough and no odour control system is required. This stand is against public interest and non-compliance of order of this Tribunal.

The Supreme Court on Friday ordered Delhi Jal Board to approach the Upper Yamuna River Board and make a representation relating to the amount of water which is not sufficient to Delhi.
