支持Shriram Food and Fertilizers的考虑因素-Considerations in favour of Shriram Food and Fertilizers

The Supreme Court's decision was not entirely one sided which is reflected in its decision to not entirely shut down the operations of Shriram but force upon it monetary penalties and better safety standards. Many factors influenced the Supreme Court's decision of not being entirely against Shriram.

Shriram's caustic chlorine plant employed around 4000 people, and its closure would immediately render them unemployed and unable to support themselves and their families. Considering that most of these people were unskilled labourers and already residing in poverty the Supreme Court decided not to take away their livelihood.

Shriram was in the business of producing daily commodities necessary to the daily life of the public and hence its closure would produce a shortage.

Perhaps the most important factor was that it produced chlorine for the chlorination and purification of water for the Delhi Jal Board. And also the unavailability of another source of chlorine within Delhi and NCR.
