Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning directions from the Punjab and Haryana High Court regarding traffic management and pollution control in Chandigarh. The Court modified several directions, including allowing the Chandigarh Administration to determine parking charges and introducing one-way traffic systems with flexibility based on relevant factors. The Court emphasized the need for the Administration to be consulted on recommendations from the High Power Committee before they are treated as binding directions, ensuring a balanced approach to governance and public interest.
