Report on compliance of order on potholes, Bombay HC tells state govt
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Tuesday directed the state chief secretary to reply about compliances made to orders passed in a suo motu public interest litigation on the poor condition of roads across Maharashtra.
A bench of Justices Amjad Sayed and S G Dige heard contempt petition filed in 2019 by advocate Ruju Thakker regarding wilful non-compliance of February 24/April 12, 2018 orders. Her petition said that “most roads in Mumbai, including arterial roads, have developed potholes.”
“This is statewide and not only confined to the city of Bombay (sic). The state has not bothered to reply. We are here to assist the court as citizens,” argued senior advocate Janak Dwarkadas for Thakker.
