"It is well settled that courts do not run the country and it is up to the administration to take decisions for the smooth functioning of the government," Delhi High Court said.
Traffic authorities are the best judge to decide the issue of regulation of traffic in the city, the Delhi High Court said, dismissing a plea seeking a direction to the police to remove blockades on the Mathura Road crossing.
The high court also took judicial notice of a substantial increase in road traffic in the city over the last few years and the number of cars parked on the roads in front of the court premises and in the lanes alongside, causing traffic congestion.
"Traffic control is the sole domain of the traffic police. It is well settled that courts do not run the country and it is up to the administration to take decisions for the smooth functioning of the government," a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad said in a judgment passed on Monday.
The judgement was made public on Tuesday.
