Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower court to restrain the construction of a toll plaza at a specific location on NH30, citing a violation of Rule 8 of the National Highways Fee Rules, 2008. The court directed the authorities to relocate the toll plaza to ensure that users of the old highway are not subjected to toll charges. This judgment reinforces the importance of adhering to regulatory frameworks in public infrastructure projects.
