Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the public interest litigation filed under Article 32, asserting that the Motor Vehicles Act is a comprehensive statute addressing road safety and traffic regulations. The Court held that any deficiencies in the Act should be rectified by the legislature rather than through judicial intervention. The judgment emphasized the separation of powers, affirming that the judiciary should not assume the role of the legislature in amending laws.
