M.C. Mehta vs Union of India & Ors

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

The Supreme Court addressed persistent parking problems in transport hubs, institutional areas, and commercial centers. The Court held that authorities must provide adequate parking facilities at the origin point to prevent spillover into residential neighborhoods. The Court emphasized the need for clear parking guidance systems displaying vacant spaces, prominent signage, and 'drop and go' arrangements in high-traffic areas. Special provision for transport vehicles in wholesale markets was mandated. The Court directed implementation of guidance systems indicating nearest available parking and relevant vehicle routes, with the matter being relisted for further monitoring and compliance."
