    A 5-year-old boy named Sanjay fell into an uncovered, defunct borewell near his village in Meluha, India while playing cricket. He was trapped at a depth of 26 feet initially, but slipped further down to about 97 feet. Rescue efforts from various agencies used robotic devices, oxygen supplies, drilling machines, and more to try to reach the boy, but faced challenges from the rocky terrain, weather, and risk of borewell collapse. Despite around-the-clock rescue attempts over many hours, Sanjay could not be rescued and unfortunately died in the borewell. This led to two PILs being filed - one seeking compensation and another regarding media coverage of the incident. The High Court of Meluha

    In the Union of Hindia there is a rural village- Gotham, in the State of Meluha,

    the Panchayat authorities started to construct a borewell out of the funds


    received from the Government. Due to water shortage the process of drilling
    was stopped and the authorities left the borewell site uncovered. The borewell
    site was completely fenced and a notice was affixed therewith, with a warning
    not to enter the borewell site.
    A five year old boy ‘Sanjay’ had fallen into the uncovered defunct borewell
    while playing cricket near the borewell site with a group of boys.
    Initially, he was trapped at a depth of 26 feet, while several voluntary groups,
    fire/rescue officials, worked relentlessly with robotic rescue devices and prior
    rescue experience. The boy slipped and drifted deeper into the borewell. After
    monitoring through cameras, the boy was found trapped at a depth of about 97
    feet. The boy was continuously monitored and constant supply of oxygen was
    given to the boy for his survival in the deep underground environment. Various
    Central and State agencies were called in to rescue him. Specialised teams of
    the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response
    Force (SDRF) joined the rescue operations. Meanwhile the local channels
    telecast the rescue process live and the sensation paved a way for the worldwide
    broadcast despite the orders of the District Collector not to telecast the incident
    live.
    Authorities said they were not able to assess the boy’s condition, after hours of
    rescue operation it was reported that Sanjay had fainted but was still breathing.
    He was monitored through cameras, indicated the boy is trapped at a depth of
    about 97 feet with mud covered over him.
    Heavy German-made drilling machine was deployed to dig a parallel shaft to
    reach the boy stuck at a depth of 97 feet, but rescue efforts were hampered by
    rocky terrain as geologists pointed out that soil in the area comprised hard rock
    of quartz and feldspar. Though Fire and Rescue service persons were lowered
    into the freshly drilled shaft, using a ladder and with all necessary supports.
    They faced complications in the rescue due to bad weather/drizzling and
    maintaining the speed of the drilling since there were chances of the abandoned
    borewell getting closed completely in case of vibrations.

    Despite of the various attempts taken by the Government; the boy was not able
    to be rescued. The Government was criticised for not taking precautionary
    measures as set out in the guidelines. “Agham” NGO filed a PIL before the
    High Court of Meluha against the Government seeking compensation for the
    death of the boy.
    Meanwhile a social activist filed another PIL seeking the Government to issue
    suitable directions for telecasting the sensational news around the clock, which
    covered the rescue process live from close quarters and several channels
    telecasted disturbing images of the trapped boy.
    The High Court of Meluha clubbed both the petitions and posted the matter for
    hearing.
