Bombay High Court said that authorities “should not allow families owning only one flat to have four or five cars if they do not have sufficient parking space” available in their respective housing societies.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni said on Thursday that authorities “should not allow families owning only one flat to have four or five cars if they do not have sufficient parking space” available in their respective housing societies. Reduction in the purchase of new cars is needed. You can’t permit one family to have four to five vehicles just because they can afford it. You should cross-check if they have parking spaces or not,” the high court said. The HC questioned the rules challenged in the PIL and said there will be “chaos if a proper policy on vehicle parking is not formulated”. “All roads are flooded with vehicles and everywhere, 30 per cent space of roads is taken away by parking on both sides. It is a common phenomenon,” it said. The high court directed state’s counsel Manish Pable to file a reply to the PIL within two weeks.
