Bombay High Court slams civic bodies over poor road conditions in Mumbai, stating there is no justification for pothole-related hazards. The Court emphasizes that the government and municipal authorities are duty-bound to ensure safe and proper road infrastructure for the public.
The Bombay High Court refrained from contempt proceedings against Maharashtra civic bodies for non-compliance with road maintenance orders. While acknowledging some efforts, the court emphasized citizens’ rights to safe roads. It revived a 2013 public interest litigation for ongoing monitoring and directed authorities to submit a compliance report by December 3.
