SUO MOTO Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) ON 13.08.2012, this Court took note of all the previous proceedings in this matter and particularly noticed the fact that the authorities had failed to keep their words and assurances as stated on 31.05.2012. It was also noticed that on 25.07.2012, time was granted while believing on the submission made that the authorities had indeed started executing some work in right earnest and would require some time so as to ensure smooth flow of traffic in the city of Jodhpur at the referred 15 main roads.

(2.) ON 13.08.2012, the learned amicus curiae M/s. Ashok Chhangani, Pankaj Sharma and Vipul Singhvi submitted that the authorities had not carried out what was required of them; and even a reasonable part of the assurance to ensure smooth flow of traffic in the city of Jodhpur particularly at the 15 main roads had not been fulfilled. The submissions on behalf of the Municipal Corporation and so also on behalf of other authorities had been that the work was being carried on and that it was an on-going process.

(3.) TODAY , on the matter being taken up, when we posed the question to the learned amicus curiae about the progress of the work, they submitted in unison that the work done is not of any satisfaction and it cannot be said that the authorities have fulfilled the promises as made before the Court. In response, the learned counsel Mr. R.S.Saluja appearing for the Jodhpur Municipal Corporation candidly submitted that he was not in a position to make a specific statement about the satisfaction level of the work done but the work was being done.
