Bombay High Court Ruling on Pothole-Related Deaths
The Bombay High Court has made compensation for victims of pothole-related accidents mandatory, with the amount to be recovered personally from negligent civic officers, engineers, or contractors.
Unless those responsible for pothole-related deaths and injuries are made personally accountable and are compelled to bear monetary liability from their own pockets, they will not understand the gravity of the issue.
The court ruled that failure to provide safe roads amounts to a violation of citizens' fundamental rights under Article 21 of the Constitution, aiming to hold civic bodies accountable for municipal apathy and negligence towards roads and other civic infrastructure.
