Discussion
More stringent rule of strict liability than the rule in Rylands V. Fletcher was laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of M.C. Mehta V. Union of India popularly known as :
Answer: B
The case is the Oleum gas case.
In M.C. Mehta v. Union of India (1987), arising from the leak of oleum gas from Shriram Foods and Fertiliser Industries in Delhi in 1985, the Supreme Court laid down the rule of absolute liability: an enterprise engaged in a hazardous or inherently dangerous activity is absolutely liable for harm caused, without the exceptions allowed under Rylands v. Fletcher.
The Ganga pollution and Taj Mahal cases are other M.C. Mehta environmental cases that did not create this rule, and the Sabarimala case concerned women's entry to a temple.
