SC rejects plea on road safety issue, says can’t be done in one petition
The Supreme Court has refused to entertain a plea on the issue of road safety in the country, saying the reliefs sought are “so encompassing” that it cannot be done in one petition judicially.
A bench of justices S K Kaul and Sudhanshu Dhulia said most of the issues raised in the plea are related to Tamil Nadu, and the petitioner can approach the state high court for appropriate relief.
The petitioner, a resident of the southern state, told the bench that his plea was about road safety and that more than five lakh accidents happen every year in the country.
