In indian electricity rules various rules have been laid down for safe distribution of electricity. These rules are flouted by electricity boards or DISCOMs with impunity. for example a bus plying on the road with luggage piled on its roof comes in contact with low hanging overhead electric line and many passengers get electrocuted.As per law the wire must have a minimum clearance of 19 feet from road level. this height is not maintained by the electricity authorities which results in fatal accident.As per electricity act 1910 and later revsed to 2003. the electrical inspector must make an enquiry within 24 to 48 hrs of the accident and bring out the cause and the person responsible.
But looking to the spate of such accdents it is clear that no such enquiries are made, none is held responsible, and compensation is paid to the kins of the victim. I wish some one should take up this issue in spreme court thro a PIL or by some other suitable means.
I am ready to provide more details if some one takes up the cause or guides me
