Pursuant to the order dated 23-09-2024, a five-member expert committee was constituted to evaluate the issue. The committee concluded that due to subsequent developments, policy changes, and a substantial increase in traffic volume, the BRTS Corridor had lost its utility in the present scenario.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The State Government submitted an affidavit dated 27-02-2025 and stated that over the past 12 years, Indore has undergone significant population growth and urban expansion. It was stated that the BRTS Corridor has led to continuous traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours. It was stated that initially, the State Government defended the construction of the BRTS, but due to changing circumstances, a policy decision was taken to remove the BRTS Corridor and replace it with a series of seven flyovers. The flyovers are intended to improve traffic mobility by providing two parallel roads where the BRTS Corridor currently exists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Given that the petitioners, the committee, and the State Government all agreed that the BRTS Project in Indore was no longer useful, the Court directed the State and stakeholders to proceed with removing the BRTS Corridor in accordance with the policy decision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that a related petition was filed seeking further orders on maintaining the status quo, removing the AICTL bus stand, stopping unauthorized buses in the BRTS Corridor, and initiating an inquiry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court disposed of the petition as infructuous, considering the State Government&#8217;s policy decision. Further, in light of the order directing the removal of the BRTS Corridor, the Court stated that no further orders were deemed necessary, and the related petition is also disposed of in similar terms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Kishore Deepak Kodwani<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State of M.P.<\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/D238p9i1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2025 SCC OnLine MP 1701<\/a>, Decided on 27-02-2025<\/span>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">*Judgment by Chief Justice Suresh Kumar Kait<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\">Shri Amit S.
