The apex court ruling on Wednesday said the fact that the water cooler was installed as a charity is no justification for neglecting its maintenance, which led to the death of the girl. The incident happened two years ago.

The court ordered the brothers to pay Dh50,000 collectively as diya to the family of the girl.
