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.
