The Court stated that <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">It is of grave concern that, while the nation places immense value on its human resource, widespread apathy and negligence among citizens regarding public and road safety continue to magnify societal anguish.<\/span>&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court directed the Centre, Medical and Health Department and Revenue Department, Public Works Department and Local Bodies, Home and Transport Department and National Highways Authority of India to file their responses detailing the steps taken for better regulation and mechanisms to reduce the pain and misery caused by untimely deaths due to the lack of stringent measures. The Court further directed the Amicus curies to file a common statement, along with concrete suggestions, indicating the steps that could be initiated for strengthening the regulatory framework relating to road and public safety.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court listed the matter on 13-11-2925 and directed the Centre and State to also file their response on improvement of road and public safety matters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Suo moto in Re in the matter of tackling the issue of &#8216;Road and Public Safety&#8217;, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/32jGx1qv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2025 SCC OnLine Raj 5613<\/a>, decided on 4-11-2025<\/span>]<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">For the Respondent:<\/span> Rajesh Panwar, AAG with Ayush Gehlot, N.S.
