After demise of the petitioner’s son, the daughter-in-law left the matrimonial home and entered into another wedlock. Now, the granddaughter is being brought up by the petitioner.

Stating all these pathetic conditions, the petitioner claims compensation on the basis of judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Safai karamchari Andolen & Others Vs. Union of India & Others, reported in 2014 (3) CTC 177. In the said judgment, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, in paragraph No.14 (iii), held as follows:- “(iii) Identify the families of all persons, who have died in sewerage work (manholes, septic tanks since 1993 and award compensation of Rs.10,00,000/- (Rupees Ten Lakhs Only for each such death to the family members depending on them.” 7. None can deny the fact that due to the poverty conditions prevailing in their family, risking their lives, many persons are forced to do scavenging Work for menial income. In view of the risk involved in this work, many countries annihilated the manual cleaning itself. Unfortunately, in some parts of our Country, still the practice of manual cleaning has been prevailing. The Manual Scavengers, like the deceased, is the last grade servant. But, without their aid, the whole world become uncleaned, which is why, our forefathers said ‘Cleanliness is next to god’. Therefore, at the time of distress, like the case on hand, the Government has to immediately extend its help to the bereaved family to the maximum extent possible. As one step ahead, the Supreme Court went to the extent of stating that the Government itself has to initiate steps to identify those persons who lost their precious lives in this profession and award compensation to the deceased family forthwith. Their role to the Society cannot be measured at all. Let us keep in mind that realizing the importance of cleanliness, the German Play Wright Johann Wolfgang Van Goethes in his famous quote said: “Let every one sweep in front of his own door and the whole world will be clean” 8.
