State authorities have a statutory duty to consider and dispose of public grievances regarding vehicular safety and compliance with traffic regulations within a reasonable timeframe.

JUDGMENT

The case of the petitioner is as follows:-

On 29.03.2026 at 8.30 pm at Ayini Road, the petitioner noticed a passenger auto rickshaw bearing Registration No. KL-39-T-6197 belonging to the 1^st respondent carrying a large flex/banner mounted on its top. The flex extended beyond the permissible dimensions of the vehicle, posing serious safety risk to other road users. Though Ext.P2 representation was submitted to respondents 2 to 4 on 30.03.2026, no action is taken so far. Hence this writ petition.

2. Heard the petitioner, who appeared in person and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents 2 to 5. In the nature of the order I propose to pass in this writ petition notice to the 1^st respondent is dispensed with.

3. In the facts and circumstances of the case and considering submissions made across the Bar, there will be a direction to the 3^rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 representation, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment with notice to the petitioner and the 1^st respondent.

The writ petition is disposed of.
