Govt failed to ensure commuters’ safety: HC
Chandigarh, August 5 “Man, two sons among 5 killed in mishap” carried in these columns. Justice Jaswant Singh asserted: “A news-report in the Chandigarh Tribune dated August 2 with regard to motor vehicle accident that took place on August 1 near Rangilpur village on the Kharar-Kiratpur Sahib stretch on the National Highway-21, has invited my attention.” “As per the news report, such accidents on the stretch are quite frequent and have claimed many lives. This road being a curtail link connecting Chandigarh to various parts of Punjab and Haryana has heavy traffic flow round the clock. “The task of widening the road to six lane has been undertaken for the smooth flow of traffic. But it appears that the task, which was slated to be completed by the end of June, 2010, is nowhere near completion.” Justice Jaswant Singh added that: “In fact, it is reported that 90 per cent of the work is pending. In my opinion, the government has failed in its duty in ensuring the timely completion of the project and ensuring safety of the travellers. Therefore, I deem it appropriate to take a judicial note of the news report and consider the same in public interest.” Justice Jaswant Singh’s note, along with the clipping of the Tribune report, were placed before Division Bench of Chief Justice Mukul Mudgal and Justice Ajay Tewari this morning after the matter was treated under the public interest jurisdiction of the high court. After going through the contents of the news report and Justice Jaswant Singh’s note, the Bench put the state of Punjab and other respondents on notice. Speed Matters For preventing the journey from ending before destination, the Bench reiterated its earlier directions to Punjab to apply brakes on rash driving by ensuring all medium to heavy goods and passenger vehicles to be registered in the state are fitted with speed governors. As a public interest litigation filed by the Suraksha Foundation came up for hearing, Chief Justice Mukul Mudgal and Justice Ajay Tewari asserted that accidents were taking place because of over speeding and even wrong-side driving. The Chief Justice said nothing much would have happened if the vehicles were not being driven rashly. The Bench asserted that in Haryana the situation was worse than Delhi. As of now, Punjab has not filed an affidavit on the compliance of the directions, even as Haryana claimed that the transport department was implementing the relevant rule. Counsel for the Foundation, Puneet Bali, on the other hand, referred to a letter by secretary on over speeding and snapshots showing vehicles being challaned for driving at 90 plus speed. In the petition, the Foundation had earlier sought directions to the state of Punjab and another respondent to “follow the provisions of Rule 118 of the Central Motor Vehicle Rules; and to direct the state to prepare an implementation plan for the installation of electronic speed limiters within a specific time frame.
