SC asks states, UTs to frame road safety rules

October 08, 2025

THE Supreme Court in its order on Tuesday directed all the states and Union Territories to frame road safety rules within six months with a proper mechanism to regulate the movement of non-motorised vehicles and pedestrians in public spaces.

- SUCHITRA KALYAN MOHANTY

The directions of the top court came on a petition filed by Coimbatore-based surgeon S Rajaseekaran, who highlighted the large number of road accidents in India and sought appropriate direction and order in the very important issue.

A two-judge bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K V Viswanathan directed all the states and UTs to frame such rules under Sections 138 (1A) and 210D of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

It may be finally acknowledged that women’s roles in business families can no longer remain informal, invisible or assumed.
