Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petitions under Article 136 against the Calcutta High Court's orders prohibiting parking around the Victoria Memorial Hall, citing recommendations from an Expert Committee that identified parking as a source of pollution. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing that alternative locations for morning walks were available nearby. The outcome confirmed the High Court's orders without any modifications or costs awarded.
