In a recent ruling, the court emphasized the need for safe and accessible walkways, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and children. The court's decision has shed light on the often-overlooked plight of pedestrians in India, where poorly maintained footpaths, heavy traffic, and a lack of pedestrian infrastructure put countless lives at risk every day. As the nation grapples with the consequences of rapid urbanization and inadequate planning, the court's intervention is seen as a crucial step towards prioritizing pedestrian safety and creating more livable cities."
