New Delhi: “Implementation of BRT (bus rapid transit) corridors in the city of Delhi is not an irrational decision,” the Delhi High Court said Thursday, dismissing a plea seeking the scrapping of the existing bus corridor here.
A division bench of Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice Manmohan Singh came out in favour of the controversial 5.8 km Ambedkar Nagar-Moolchand BRT corridor in south Delhi saying that it was capable of “better regulations and discipline”.
The court’s order came two days after the government gave approval to seven new BRT corridors.
“In the area of road transport, if an existing system is sought to be replaced by a more organised system, capable of better regulations and discipline, then this is an urban transport philosophy, reflected in the decision of the government,” the court said.
The judges said that such a decision may have its merits and de-merits “but they are best left to the wisdom of the executive and in such matters of policy the accepted principle is that the court should not interfere”. (IANS)
