The division bench expressed its concern, observing that the PIL was lodged in 2015, and with eight years having transpired since its initiation, the court lacked knowledge regarding the present state of traffic affairs and the strategies implemented for its regulation.

As a result, the high court issued a directive instructing the Commissioner of Police to submit an affidavit detailing the evaluation of the current traffic situation and delineating strategies to tackle it.

Furthermore, the high court directed the commissioner to arrange a meeting involving officers from all pertinent departments. Subsequent to comprehensive deliberations, the commissioner is to furnish an affidavit, delineating the existing status of the traffic scenario and elaborating on the measures at their disposal to alleviate it.

The court order additionally recorded that the review conducted by the commissioner should prioritize the utilization and implementation of technological measures for effective traffic management. The bench further noted that upon reviewing the information provided in the affidavit, the high court would establish a committee comprising experts.

The committee would be entrusted with studying the traffic situation in depth and exploring viable options for the introduction of modern technology to enhance traffic management.
