HC upholds two-wheeler ban on expressways, cites safety concerns

Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela upheld a 2018 notification from the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) that prohibits two-wheelers on access-controlled expressways.

The first petition was a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Gautam Kumar Laha, who sought to nullify the NHAI's notification and the ₹20,000 penalty imposed on motorcyclists who violate the ban.
