Abstract

This chapter presents one of the most closely watched battles of a single citizen to save his coastal homeland. It is an investigative effort of an ordinary person to interrogate the state government’s usage of the morally outrageous ‘Act of God’ argument as a cause of floods. This chapter is a first-hand account of investigations made by the author before filing the first PIL (Public Interest Litigation) against the Government of Kerala calling it criminal negligence on their part rather than an ‘Act of God’. The author has also unraveled the concealment of facts in the Counter Affidavits filed by the Government to confuse the court with jargon, data, graphs and government memos.
