[31/12, 09:00] Meta AI: The Madras High Court has directed the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, State Transport Commissioner, and other respondents to file their counter affidavit within four weeks regarding a plea to form a bus safety commission in Tamil Nadu. Justices SM Subramaniam and P Dhanabal adjourned further hearing, seeking responses to curb road accidents and ensure stringent enforcement of traffic regulations. ¹

The petitioner, S Devadoss Gandhi Wilson, stressed that enforcing traffic rules is crucial to reduce fatalities, citing WHO statistics that Tamil Nadu has the highest road accident deaths in South India. The plea seeks a separate commission to inspect and certify bus safety, similar to aviation and railway sectors.
