Case Study of Prasanth Bhushan: Issue of not abiding by the procedure in P. Bhushan
Case:- None of these were followed in Prashant Bhushan Case.
First issue petition was put by advocate Mr Maheshwari against Prasant Bhushan asking for exemption from the consent of AG and SC. The learned Judge said it was placed before them on the administrative side and now they are taking suo moto action.
Second Issue:- Rule 10 of the Rules to Regulate Proceedings of Contempt of Supreme court, 1975 expressly provides that the Court may direct the Attorney-General or Solicitor-General to appear and assist the court. However, SC failed to hear from AG and took his assistance throughout the hearing.

🔆Ahmedabad, India – Pioneering a Comprehensive Heat :
✅Action Plan Ahmedabad, experienced a severe heatwave in 2010, which led to hundreds of deaths. This prompted the development of South Asia's first comprehensive Heat Action Plan (HAP) in 2013, a pioneering step that has since been considered a global model for heatwave preparedness.

Innovative Steps Taken:

✅ Early Warning System and Public Awareness: The plan included an early warning system for upcoming heatwaves, disseminating alerts via media, text messages, and public announcements.
✅Heat-Resistant Infrastructure: Efforts were made to modify urban infrastructure, such as painting roofs white to reflect sunlight and reduce indoor temperatures.
✅ Cooling Spaces: Public spaces like temples, public buildings, and malls were designated as cooling centres, providing relief during peak heat hours.
✅ Healthcare System Preparedness: The city's healthcare facilities were equipped and trained
to deal with heat-related illnesses, including setting up special wards and training medical staff.
✅ Capacity Building and Training: Training programs for health professionals, emergency responders, and community leaders were implemented to build capacity in dealing with heat waves.
✅ Water Management: Ensuring water availability, particularly in slum areas, was prioritized to prevent dehydration and heat strokes.
✅ Impact and Global Recognition: The HAP led to a significant reduction in heat-related deaths.

The success of the Ahmedabad model prompted its adaptation in over 30 other cities across India.
Recognized globally, the Ahmedabad HAP has been highlighted by international organizations like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as an effective strategy for combating heat waves.

🔆STEPS FOR SOLVING CASE-STUDIES

✅ Identify core ethical issue in the case. Write that in the beginning. It will become introduction to the case.
✅ Identify other peripheral ethical issues in the case. Mention them using vocabulary of the paper.
✅ If the question has not asked to do the analysis, then the above will serve as short analysis and introduction to the case. If the question has specifically asked to do the analysis, then follow the next step.
✅Identify the stakeholders in the case:
🔸 Individuals : look at virtues of individuals, rights, duties etc.
🔸 Institutions : look for issues like autonomy, efficiency, common good, right to get paid for services, trust of people, institutional integrity etc.
🔸 Government : look for points like fiduciary responsibility, objectivity, economic and administrative value, fulfilling expectations of citizens etc.
🔸Various communities : look for points like religious sentiment, fundamental right of drinking water etc.
🔸 Society : look for points like tolerance, cohesion, fraternity, peace etc.
🔸 Then look for relation between various stakeholders. For example,
🔸 Duty of government to maintain the standard of institutions of National
Importance.
🔸 Loyalty of an employee towards his/her company.
🔸 Social responsibilities of corporates.
✅ If you have been given options in the case, then write pros and cons of all the options before choosing an appropriate option. You have to do evaluation of the options before coming to a conclusion.
✅If options have not been provided, then generate some options yourself. But do take care that the options should be either legally correct or ethically correct or both. An option that is neither legally correct nor ethically correct is not an option!
✅ You can use point format or table to write pros and cons. Saves time and space!
✅ Give reasons from philosophy, core theory of the paper to justify the final position you have taken in the case.
