Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the Writ Petition (Civil) No. 580 of 2003 filed under Article 32, asserting that the Motor Vehicles Act is a comprehensive statute governing road safety and traffic regulations. The Court held that any perceived deficiencies in the Act should be addressed by the legislature through amendments rather than by judicial intervention. The judgment emphasized the separation of powers, affirming that the judiciary should not encroach upon legislative functions.
