In a boon to thousands of harried passengers in the Capital, the Supreme Court on Friday cleared the decks for plying of one lakh new autorickshaws that could bring down the constant complaints of overcharging and misbehaviour by auto drivers.
A special forest bench of Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan and Justice C.K. Prasad gave the signal on an application moved by the Delhi Transport Authority as early as 2002 for lifting the freeze imposed by the apex court in its earlier direction of December 16, 1997.
According to Senior Counsel and Amicus Curiae Mr P.S. Narasimha and the Delhi government counsel, Mr Wasim Ahmed Quadri, with this direction, the administration can now grant permission for plying another one lakh new autos in the city.
