OBSERVING that advocating for road safety is also one of the statutory functions of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the same would fall under the category 'public purpose', the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court recently set aside an order passed by a single judge quashing the land acquisition notification issued by NHAI for its 'Road Safety Advocacy Project' for a 30-km stretch between Madurai and Kanniyakumari in March 2018.

A bench of justices G R Swaminathan and M Jothiraman passed the order on the appeals filed by the Union Highways Ministry and NHAI in 2021.
