MUMBAI: Bombay high court is slated to hear a public interest litigation on Friday against toll on incomplete and bad roads. The State government is expected to tell the court what progress to put in place a regulatory mechanism.
A division bench of Justice DhananjayChandrachud and Justice Suresh Gupte at the last hearing on June 28, 2013 had chided the State government for doing nothing about reducing or doing away with toll on incomplete road projects. The judges were miffed thatdespite assuring the courton March 6, 2013 that is shall pass benefits to commuters regarding collection of toll on incomplete roads, the government had not framed the policy four months later.
The judges said they were distressed at the casual manner'' of the government on this issue when the government advocate submitted that the policy is under consideration. If the State collects toll from private citizens, it is obliged to maintain the roads,''said Justice Chandrachud.
In their order, the judges said,We express our disapproval that the State government has taken no steps to formulate a policy.'' They said formulation of policy is a matter of concern to consumers across the State with the increase in privatisation and toll collection. They also noted that the government does not seem to have any established norms for dealing with situations where contractors continue to collect toll on bad roads. In the absence of adequate machinery for supervising, the commuters are put to untold hardships, they added.
The PIL was Shashikant Changede against toll being charged on roads which are incomplete in Pune and Ahmednagar. The judges also took serious noteof the complete inaction of the government'' when Changede informed that on Pune-Shirur road there were two toll nakas and government was not monitoring cash flow in one,. They directed an officer be deputed to visit the site and make a report. The judges said they hold the Secretary, Public Works Department, responsible for resolving the grievances highlighted in PIL. They directed the PWD Secretary and Chief Secretary to evolve a comprehensive policy in general to put in a place a regulatory mechanism.
