Supreme Court Dismisses Petition Seeking Broad Public Safety Directives

The Supreme Court dismissed a petition seeking broad directives to ensure public safety across India, describing it as overly expansive and unmanageable. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, noted that such sweeping orders would have financial implications better handled by state high courts. The plea requested measures including routine audits of infrastructure and the formation of an independent safety committee, but the court left open the option for more specific petitions in appropriate courts.
